XVII by Amir Khostavan
The debut piano-instrumental record from San Francisco Bay Area pianist, composer and producer, Amir Khostavan. Contains 9 tracks of original material, plus a cover of the Iranian classic "Golden Dreams," originally written by Javad Maroufi.
This album is a culmination of material written over the past 17 years, hence the title of the record. It is influenced by Amir's middle-eastern roots, his California upbringings and the music soundtracks of some of his favorite movies alongside composers such as Yanni and Ludavici Einaudi
