Story behind the song
Composed while I was watching a documentary about Neda, the Iranian women shot to death during a demonstration in Tehran, presumably by a government agent, for which reason I named it 'For Neda' on the recorder. Later changed the name to 'Iran Psychedelic' for further obscuration and also because the song itself really doesn't capture the trajedy of Neda's death. While the song itself has a psychedelic quality, it's really not about Iranian psychedelia either. Finally, I settled on 'Zardusht' (the Farsi version of Zoroaster / Zarathustra) to keep its connection to Iran in the title and reflect my interest in spiritual traditions.
