Tishtar is a mythological ambient journey through rain, drought, hope, and rebirth by Iranian musician Soshiant. Named after the Persian goddess of rain and prosperity, the five-track EP channels ancient Zoroastrian cosmology into emotionally charged compositions that blur the boundaries between traditional acoustic instruments and ambient electronica.
Tishtar is a symbolic invocation. In ancient Persian myth, Tishtar battles the drought demon Apaosha to bring rain to a dying world. In today’s context, she becomes a metaphor for truth (Arta) and divine justice, opposing deception (Dorouga), both globally and within Iran. The music is a call for universal goodness, for rainfall that blesses all without discrimination — a timeless, borderless prayer for renewal.
