Eishan Ensemble’s third album, Project Masnavi (2021), is inspired by the mystical poetry of Rumi’s Masnavi, a cornerstone of Persian literature.

Sadeghi reflects, “Rumi’s quote, ‘the garden of the world has no limits, except in your mind,’ deeply resonated with me.”

This project introduced new textures, with the accordion, in particular, leaving a profound impression on him: “The compression and expansion of the bellows reminded me of a heartbeat... a musical embodiment of love, as Rumi described it.”
