Zerone Duo
Interdisciplinary collective founded in 2018, by two Iranian Composer-Performers, Deniz Tafaghodi and Farbod Maeen in Tehran.”Zerone Duo” draws its name from the binary elements of zero and one, reflecting the profound synergy between opposites.They are translating visual marvels of geometric intricacies found in the architecture of various cultures into the auditory realm of music.
