پالت - یک سال با آقای بنفش | Pallett - a year with Mr. Violet

برای همه‌ی همسفران پالت ...

Pallett Band is the alternative voice of Iran’s current generation; a mix of contemporary and classical Persian poetry; a dialog between today’s social issues and their cultural heritage. All of these elements combined, create the colorful world of Pallett. The band is comprised of three classically trained musicians who are not bound by the conventional principles of their musical background, utilizing modern and contemporary motifs in their music.

They are considered pioneers of the new wave of alternative music, because of their authentic sound, which fuses elements of classical, traditional, jazz, rock, gypsy and Iranian folk music. The longevity of the band and their continuous success, both domestically and abroad, is a testament to the hard work and dedication to their craft. Incorporating Iranian and eastern scales within the framework of western instruments, they started off as an unconventional band but slowly made their way to the heart of the mainstream audience.

They are one of the few artists in this genre, who have massive audiences in different cities all around the country. They have gone on to perform hundreds of shows with no signs of slowing down. Not only have they sold out most of their domestic shows in recent years, but also internationally they have played for huge audiences in Europe, the US, Brazil and as such.

Pallett consists of OMID NEMATI (vocal), MAHYAR TAHMASBI (cello) & KAVEH SALEHI (guitar), in which HESAM MOHAMMADIANPOUR, ROUZBEH ESFANDARMAZ & DARIUS AZAR were former members. Over the last 10 years, they have collaborated with ROBBERT VAN HULZEN, GISBERT ZU KNYPHAUSEN, TARAB BAND, ZAMBALLARANA, DARA DARAEE, BEHNAM ABOLQASEM, MEHDI SAKI, KHATEREH HAKIMI and currently SHAGHAYEGH SADEGHIAN, SARDAR SARMAST, AMIN TAHERI, KASRA SABOKTAKIN, DARIUSH BIJANI, MEHRDAD ALIZADEH, FARZAD MILANI, PEYMAN HATAMI, IDEEN SHAFAEE and MAKAN ASHGVARI who accompanied the band as session players.

در آلبوم «آقای بنفش» ریتم تند و غمگین، اشعار محلی و کودکانه، مضامین عاشقانه و فلسفی، همه هستند. چرا که پالت به دنبال ساختن «جهانی رنگارنگ و بی مرز» است تا «در آن مساحت شادی و اندوه انسان به وسعت آرزوهایش باشد».
«آقای بنفش» دارای ۱۱ قطعه است که یکی از آنها بی کلام بوده و خواننده‌ی یکی از قطعات (مثلث)، مهدی ساکی است. شاعران قطعات آلبوم گوناگون هستند، از خیام، سعدی، مولانا، فروغ، ابتهاج، سیاوش کسرایی و پژمان بختیاری تا امید نعمتی و مرضیه برومند. آلبوم «آقای بنفش» تلفیقی از شعر و آواز ایرانی با موسیقی غربی است.
موسیقی پالت را می‌توان بخش مهمی از جریان موسیقی تلفیقی سالهای اخیر دانست، جریانی که گروه‌هایی مثل دنگ شو، چارتار، بمرانی، دال، داماهی، عجم و دارکوب و هنرمندانی مانند میلاد درخشانی و علی زندوکیلی بدنه اصلی آن را تشکیل می‌دهند.
