The Unexplored Creative Plane

Ata Ebtekar also known as Sote has been carving his own path in the lexicon of electronic music for the better part of 2 decades. Ata attended school in Germany and later audio engineering school in the San Francisco bay area. It happened to be the same school Robbie Martin (co-host of Media Roots Radio and aka Fluorescent Grey) attended, Expression Center for New Media. Expression was home to not just audio students but also cgi and visual students many of whom later ended up working for Hollywood fx companies. Ata was a few classes ahead of Robbie and through a random series of circumstances they became friends and later Ata became an artist who would release multiple works on Robbie's long running music imprint 'Record Label Records'. For a while Ata would travel to and from Tehran to the united states regularly, staying for months and years at a time in each location but now Ata is in Tehran to stay, further exploring the unexplored outer edges of electronic and experimental music. Ata aka Sote will release a brand new full length called Arrhythmia digitally on Record Label Records May 25th
