Jerf, the song notes tell us means “endless depth.” “Love is an ocean of endless depth,” Art Tawanghar expands upon that definition. “You are not a drop in an ocean, but the entire ocean in a drop,” he continues. Yes, this is heavy stuff. Music, for Tawanghar is just one more way to extend a philosophical conversation.
The track “Jerf” finds Tawanghar working again with Reza Kashi, an Iranian setar, tar and oud master. This track also features Negar Nik, who plays Kamanche and provides vocals. She plays Kamanche in many different Azerbaijani orchestras. She’s also skilled with multiple vocal techniques. Furthermore, she’s sung some popular Masoud Amirsepehr’s operas. She now calls Australia home and performs with the Toranj ensemble.
Sonically, this is a slightly jazzy piece. It sways easily, although it also incorporates exotic gypsy sounds, ethereal vocals and jazzy guitars. It’s dance-y, but not in a ‘get down, get funky’ party mode. Instead, it will have you moving gently, while your mind wanders. It also features plenty of acoustic instrumentation. It is modern sounding, without including many distinctly modern sonic elements. There are plenty of guitar (or guitar-like) flourishes running throughout the piece. There are also what sounds like violin sections.

The mental picture this piece conjures up is that of a relaxing afternoon, in some far-off land. It’s moody, without being menacing. Tawanghar is credited as the track’s producer, whereas Kashi is listed as its Persian classical arranger. The song will likely appeal to fans of smooth jazz, even though it’s of a much higher quality than mere smooth jazz. It sets the sonic scene, and then musical movements ebb and flow throughout. It’s not like a song, with what might be termed verses and choruses. Rather, it’s a general mood that develops as it goes. It sounds spontaneous, even though it would be impossible to make something like this spontaneously. The trick is such that, although planned, it deceives the listener into believing it’s all being done on the spot. This is a beautiful deception.
Fans of pop music may need extra time to digest this type of track. It is subtle and unobtrusive. It gets under your skin, more than hitting you over the head. Pop music is designed for those with short attention spans; it needs to get your immediate attention and hold that attention for three minutes or so. “Jerf,” on the other hand, whispers in your ear. It waits until you fully notice it, then it hypnotizes you into auditory submission. Before you know it, you’re following it wherever it goes, entirely intrigued by it, but not concerned about getting lost. Before you know it, you’re fully relaxed, yet not entirely sure where you are. This is music to get lost in, not music to give you an adrenaline shot. It’s the opposite of a punk rock energy drink.
Art Tawanghar has tapped into a rewarding wellspring of wonderful music, and “Jerf” is yet one more example of his creative powers at work. Getting in deep never felt so good.
