Apām Napāt Trio • تریو آپام نپات 

Apām Napāt (آپام نپات) is an NYC-based trio founded by Persian pianist, violinist, and vocalist Saman Samadi, in collaboration with clarinetist and saxophonist Blaise Siwula, and Buchla-player Hans Tammen. The ensemble presents improvisational compositions that draw connections between their musical backgrounds. Using Persian modes and poems as well as a structured and recognizable yet free impulsive interaction between the instruments, they set parallel narratives in motion, occasionally intersecting but always accompanying one another. The trio released an album called "Apām Napāt" consisting of the recordings of their first performance, in 2016.
