Sote, also known as Ata Ebtekar, is an Iranian-American electronic music composer and sound artist based in Tehran, known for blending traditional Persian music with experimental electronic elements. What makes him notable on the circuit is his deconstruction of musical formulas, achieved by altering modal codes from their original tonality and rhythm to create synthetic soundscapes that range from delicate to abrasive.
