Afshin Toufighian
Pianist and composer Afshin Toufighian enchants the atmosphere with beautiful melodies that elevate the spirits of the listener. For him, the process of creation usually begins on the piano, from which ideas will usually mold into various forms of instrumentation and potentially evolve into a variety of styles such as large symphonic arrangements, or smaller ensembles, sometimes with a percussive back-beat, or perhaps purely electronic and synthesized sounds. Oftentimes the idea will remain as a solo piano piece, a single instrumental voice representing the essential foundation of the composition. In the end, all the music he writes, is completely true and loyal to his mind and heart and functions as a mere reflection of its attributes.
Afshin's music has received praises from audiences all around the world, having his performances wonderfully acclaimed in Germany, England, China, Japan, and the U.S. nationwide. He received his education in 2000 from the University of Georgia and currently lives in Los Angeles, California. He has also contributed his music to a number of independent films and multimedia projects.
