19: Bahman Sarram - Paths to Freedom
Episode #19
Bahman Sarram is an artist, violinist, composer, producer and singer/songwriter whose music ties together many cultures and expressions into an ecstatic celebration of life. Based in San Diego, Bahman has won over audiences with his passion and unlimited energy that vibrates through his performances and diverse musical palette.
Bahman’s musical versatility knows no bounds and can’t be categorized into a single genre. No matter what style he’s playing whether funk, jazz fusion, Middle Eastern, Conscious Music, folk or rock, his improvisational skills, raw energy and natural instinct for melody leaves audiences with a feeling that they have experienced something unique and rare.
In this episode, we discuss Bahman's early music days as a child in post-revolutionary Iran, where music lessons were officially banned by the regime. It leads us to a deep and important conversation about the universal experiences of artists who have left their homeland for creative freedom.
Today, Bahman and his group The Mystic Groove Collective includes a lineup of musicians that have been together for over 15 years playing for diverse audience with a passion that leaves listeners entranced at every show.

Odeya's work has been presented at venues and festivals across the US and internationally, such as The Hammer Museum, REDCAT, Joyce Soho, MONA and Art Basel Miami, from Los Angeles to Tel Aviv, Australia, Mongolia, Madagascar and Vietnam.

16: Smiz
Sam Setchko better known as Simsamiza or Smiz if you happen to be in to brevity. Born in Oakland, California little Smiz was a rugged renegade who’d gone rogue and found his heart skating the streets of the Bay Area whilst discovering the intrinsic rhythms of all things. Eventually ascertaining that frequency and rhythm were different expressions or density’s of the same fundamental value he’s spent a lifetime artistically collaborating and performing in a myriad of mediums that sometimes are traditional but often involve chaotic spirals in to uncharted and unique eclectic expressions most humans find repulsive for about 10-20 years. He’s the most widely unknown philosopher of his time. This interview was orignally recored on January 10, 2022.
