Rite of Strings’ Dust and the Moon brings together Persian santoor, violin, bass, and drums in a cross-cultural instrumental album co-directed by Ehsan Matoori and Edward Perez. Moving from Persia to the Mediterranean and beyond, the ensemble blends world music, jazz, modern classical, and contemporary composition into a cinematic journey through rhythm, longing, dust, and moonlight.
