Hi,

I am writing to you on behalf of Atonalita (Siamak Ghorbanian Aghdam) from Iran. He is working on releasing his new album “Lullaby” for which you have worked with him on one of the songs on the album.

The concept: This album serves as a LULLABY (ft. Aftermath & Oreana) to alleviate the AGONY (ft. Solar Sleeper) experienced prior to ETERNAL SLEEP (ft. There’s A Light) for those who feel disconnected from their time and place. After the first DAWN IN THE MIRAGE (ft. Dan Caine), which symbolizes the concept of birth in the wrong place, these individuals navigate their lives with a THOUGHTFUL MIND (ft. the abyss inside us). They perceive themselves as AN ANALOGUE SOUL IN A DIGITAL WORLD (ft. Hereafter, awaiting THE FINAL CHAPTER (ft. rhubiqs) of their existence under the WHISPER OF THE MOON (ft. We Feel the End).

This album Lullaby is dedicated to all the brave people in the world who protest against cruelty and ultimately choose ETERNAL SLEEP (death) over living under any dictatorship.

In the Iranian protests more then 70,000 people were killed and those who have been hospitalized are every day been sought after and killed as well. This number of casualties is expected to increase drastically when the arrested protesters will receive their penalty: execution. Still the people of Iran are determined to achieve a revolution and change the regime.

Unfortunately, there is not much we can do to help him. There are no international bank accounts, VISA or PayPal available. Because of the situation in Iran, it is only possible for Siamak to release this album digitally through the internet..

But, what if we can make sure that his voice is heard outside of Iran? What if we could arrange a physical vinyl release of Lullaby and make sure Atonalita’s voice is heard outside of Iran?

Here is my idea:
What if we would press the album for him? We are with 9 (We Feel The End is also from Iran, so I didn’t count him in) and we all take a share of let’s say 10 records. Then we could start a production for 100 copies (I’m willing to take a share of 20, so it’s rounded up to 100). Maybe you’re able to take more then 10 copies, that would possibly lower the price per copy.

I will make sure that your shares will be sent out to all of you. The costs per record depends on how much records we all are able to take, but you will only pay for the amount of albums you take, plus shipping costs (from The Netherlands).

I am willing to arrange everything with the pressingplant (Matter Of Fact). To request a quotation I would need to know the total amount of records we need.

So my question to you is: are you willing to participate and, if yes, for how many records?

I hope you are willing and able to participate and hope to hear from you soon!
