Gita Vach, the organizer of musician Hartman said that the music heard by “stick” is a kind of mild jazz and to add more to the beauty of the music, percussion needs to be added.
Vach added that Turkish musician Suleyman Celik or an Iranian musician is due to accompany Hartman will accompany him.
Hartman, 65, learned piano in his childhood, and later learned contrabass. He has been playing stick for almost 20 years, giving several performances in European countries.
He had last performed with Ravi Chandra Kura, Indian percussionist in September at Asia-Pacific Culture Week in Germany.
The fretless bass stick was inspired by the Chapman stick, a multi-string instrument that is played by slapping the strings with hands and fingers. The Animusic Bass Stick has only one string and uses self-playing round hammers to pound out funky riffs.
Both the graphics and the music are entirely digitally synthesized. Virtual instruments are invented by building computer graphics models of objects that would appear to create the sound of the corresponding music synthesizer track.
Fajr Festival is to commence on February 5 in Tehran, Vahdat Hall and will continue until February 13. The groups taking part in the international section will also give performances in Isfahan and Kish Island as well.
