Fouad Samiei is an Iranian composer, tar player, film composer, and multi-instrumentalist whose work bridges Persian musical traditions with orchestral, cinematic, and electro-acoustic sound. His practice is shaped by a search for emotional depth, cultural memory, and contemporary musical expression. Born in Tehran, Samiei approaches music as a space of self-discovery and storytelling.

His compositions draw from classical Iranian music while opening toward experimental textures, filmic atmospheres, and cross-genre collaborations. In the context of Korsi, his work brings a layered sense of continuity and renewal: the tar is not treated as an artifact of the past, but as a living instrument capable of speaking to present-day questions of migration, longing, and transformation.
