Heptagon is the latest project led by Swedish bassist and composer Kristian Lind.
Heptagon aims to craft a truly unique fusion, drawing inspiration from a diverse array of styles; primarily eastern Modal Maqam music, western classical music, and jazz/impro. Heptagon experiments with: Ottoman, Persian and Arabic makams, meters and rhythms, built upon “Western” harmonic grounds. Basically combining heterophonic music with polyphonic Music
The project thrives on its innovative blend of meticulously composed sections and moments of improvisation, providing room for spontaneous musical expression within a well-defined structure.
Heptagon seeks to introduce audiences to the rich heritage of Ottoman/Persian and Arabic music, fostering a newfound interest in this genre among Western listeners. Beyond introducing Ottoman, oriental music, the Heptagon project also aims to infuse the jazz and classical scene with novel flavors of sounds, fresh approaches to thinking, composing, and improvising, enriching the musical landscape for both performers and audiences alike.
