  
About the Album:
Mirage is a poetic interpretation of the mysterious nature and sceneries in the deserts of Iran. Using traditional themes such as Zoroastrian hymns and religious prayers, merged with Pejman's own musical withdrawal of the architecture, traditions and the nature of this region, he creates a mystical ambience where instruments like Donali (a traditional pipe), Kamancheh, Delroba, Gheichak and Dohol play an outstanding role.
Some of the parts of this music are inspired by Pejman composition for Majid Majidi's movie "Baran" (Rain).
