Cinna Peyghamy
Cinna Peyghamy crafts sound at the meeting point of
tradition and experimentation —
a dialogue between the tactile resonance
of the tombak and the fluid
possibilities of modular synthesis.
Born in France to Iranian parents, Peyghamy places the classical Persian drum at the centre of his live performances. But this is no gesture of preservation. Through real-time electronic processing, he extends the instrument’s voice into unfamiliar terrain — letting rhythm stretch into texture, and gesture dissolve into signal.
Each set unfolds in the moment. No repetition, no fixed form. The improvisation lies not in excess, but in attentive exchange: between acoustic and electronic, memory and mutation. The result is a sound that feels both grounded and volatile.
Peyghamy’s performances are quiet acts of listening — immersive, deliberate, and unresolved.

Other People is a label and publishing platform founded in New York in 2013 by Nicolás Jaar
Run by Jaar together with Nicolina Claeson, and guided by a deliberately low-profile presence, the label’s catalogue spans over ninety releases that slip between genre and form. Projects like 2021's Caves, a compilation of silences featuring Laraaji, Aho Ssan, Ana Quiroga, and others, and Weavings, a collaborative live piece with among others Juliana Huxtable, Ellen Fullman, Wukir Suryadi, and Rully Sha;ara of Senyawa, and Angel Bat Dawid. Other releases include works by Lucrecia Dalt, Lydia Lunch, Aho Ssan, Dienne, Sary Moussa, aylu, and the debut album from Ali Sethi & Jaar.
Beyond output, Other People is defined by its structure where artists retain all rights and determine their own revenue post-recoupment. Any profits are redistributed through grants, studios, and workshops such as the Overtones grant for LA musicians, Ladridos grant, and series of Workshops in Santiago de Chile, the Alrowwad electronic music grant and workshop in Bethlehem and (un)building listenings workshop at Dar Jacir in Bethlehem. Moreover, it has donated to over three dozen exceptional organizations and individuals through the 'Thank you for existing Grant'.
Aiming to highlight and offer a platform for artists outside the mainstream, Other People is a label that listens; to artists, to context, to the ground beneath the sound.
