Six Pillars – The Association of Iranian Researchers

The Association of Iranian Researchers (ACI) is here represented by Roya Kashefi, on the art-music radio programme Six Pillars to Persia on Resonance 104.4fm

Discussing everything from facts to figures and holes in the news, Roya explains to Fari what the ACI does and why, while demystifying some facts about Iran today. One subject close to Roya’s heart is the efforts of the women’s rights movements, an Roya discusses this and other efforts in this friendly interview.

With music by the innovative Belgian Leo Kupper (b. 1935) on electro-acoustic santoors (x2) and his own micro-processors.

Fittingly for today’s episode subject, Kupper is founder and director of the “Studio de Recherches et de Structurations Electroniques Auditives” in Brussels.

This episode was broadcast from the Resonancefm studios on May 19th 2008
