Road Ensemble
Founded in Helsinki to investigate structural intersections between Persian classical dastgah, Kurdish rhythms, and European strings. The ensemble pairs daf and tombak with cello, kantele, and clarinet in tightly scored modal suites.
Hawraman Music Group
Dedicated to the preservation and faithful interpretation of sacred Kurdish vocal repertoires and regional rhythmic cadences. Performances center on ceremonial daf polyrhythms, tanbur, and ancient vocal poetry from western Iran.
Modal encounters in Helsinki and Tampere
Since establishing his base in Finland, Abbasi has led interdisciplinary research and performance cycles with Nordic folk players, classical chamber trios, and contemporary dancers. These projects avoid surface fusion, pursuing deep rhythmic symmetry.
Supported by Finnish cultural foundations, these workshops document rhythmic transcription methods and deliver new performance scores for festivals across Scandinavia and the Baltic region.
