Unsent Messages – Sevda Khatamian

Unsent Messages is a collaboration between Sevda Khatamian (Iran) and Michael Holland (EU). Based around the idea of sending messages to specific friends, spoken in their own language and thus creating a surprising & joyful connection to that friend. The idea to send these anonymous messages in various languages, spoken openly and in such a friendly way is supposed to trigger an emotional response from the listener , whoever they may be, by hearing these friendly messages we hoped to speak to the listeners directly through the medium of radio. The voice is combined with music by many artists and weaved together among field recordings by Sevda Khatamian. The intention was to create an immersive and intriguing dialogue to engage the listener, for a personal and comforting experience in sound. Sevda records sound for the project “Sonic Tehran”
