I'm not sure how one would do this, but Anahita Modarresi is a self-taught music composer. Rather than pop, folk, or even hip-hop music, Modarresi gifted herself with the ability to create full-on classical musical projects. Recently, Anahita Modarresi released an EP titled, Prophecies which "is about the experiences of the last decade of Anahita's life." In addition to that, Modarresi also says that the events of this 6-track EP "were predicted years ago by an astrologer." Also, those same themes seem to be inside each song title.
A track on Prophecies titled I Know A Princess With No Tiara takes on the musical shape of something from Cinderella or Rapunzel. It has the "Belle wandering through town saying good morning to everyone" style. There are no lyrics to be found in any of Prophicies music, yet each piece remains beautiful to experience. Prophecies uses music and music only to convey its messages. The rest of us are guests amid the light and dark sides of the life it lays out.
Anahita Modarresi covers a variety of topics on this EP including homesickness, the loss of a loved one, as well as "overcoming a past trauma with resilience." That's what the song Windie is about. The shortest song on the EP at 3:39, you can listen close and hear the restrained optimism in the strings. It feels like Windie wants to be happy despite itself.
Homesickness is what Forbidden Longings is projecting. What I hear is that there are lots of different instruments wanting to be heard. The strings play over the flutes until the flutes play over the cello up until 1:47 when they all start working together. They begin to compliment one another which is similar to how it feels to cast off past trauma. First, your mind fights itself. You can't get over how wrong or stupid you may have been but once you drop that feeling, you can see life paths reconnecting and watch the world open up.
Being a self-taught composer only makes Anahita Modarresi more amazing. In only six tracks, there is a stunning amount of depth to be explored. One of the final songs on Prophecies is titled The Karmic Prophecies of My Life. Anahita said that "due to its length (9:10) it didn't find the audience it was expected to." I would think this was complete balderdash if the artist didn't say it herself, but I don't think she should be upset about whether it hit its expected mark. I don't think anything could devalue work like this. The Karmic Prophecies of My Life is a journey. There is happiness, sadness, fear, and justice. You can hear so much as you move through this nine-minute observation of life.
Unfortunately, all I know is that there is a prophecy. I'm not clear on how good or how bad that prophecy might be. I hope Anahita can hold onto the drive that allowed her to teach herself how to create symphonies. Even for the most outstanding of us, life is never perfect. I hope that she continues down the path she's on and tells us even more about the astrologer and the prophecies surrounding her on this journey with as many songs and as much information as she can muster.
