OPIUM MOON:
Now nominated for a second Grammy for their critically acclaimed new album NIGHT + DAY, the four musicians of Opium Moon are a global intersection of powerhouse talent who work together with spontaneity and intuition, creating exotic, richly articulated music that conjures ancestral pasts but uplifts with contemporary rhythms and rhapsodic melodies, masterfully performed.

The Grammy-winning, Los Angeles-based ensemble’s cinematic soundscapes draw upon the virtuosic skills and diverse ethnic backgrounds of its members: Iranian santoor master Hamid Saeidi, innovative Israeli bassist Itai Disraeli, sought-after American percussionist M.B. Gordy, and the exceptionally expressive Canadian-American violinist Lili Haydn, whose passion and fluid mastery of her instrument enchant in every song.  

With original compositions that meld sacred/classical traditions of both East and West with trance-inducing, ancient grooves, the result is at times both stately and rapturous, a sultry and passionate instrumental music that seems to emanate from a profoundly deep wellspring. Sensuous and hypnotic, elegant yet deeply emotional, the music of Opium Moon evokes the mysteries of ancient worlds while remaining thoroughly contemporary.
