Ebtekar’s compositions and installations weave expansive sonic tales that exhibit a strong engagement with electro-acoustic techniques, microtonal systems, and polyrhythmic motifs. His vivid soundscapes employ various synthesis strategies and DSP techniques, both in analogue and digital environments. Much of his output deals with a continual analysis of beatless electronic music, but with a maximalist aesthetic – as heard on a record like Hardcore Sounds from Tehran, which was listed on The Quietus’ Top 100 albums of 2016. In 2018, Ebtekar founded Zabte Sote, a sublabel of Opal Tapes focussing on Iranian electronic composers.

Ebtekar has also worked with celebrated audiovisual composer Tarik Barri, as well as performers Arash Bolouri and Behrouz Pashaei, merging electronics with traditional acoustic instruments to create a Persian techno apocalypse. A driving force behind Tehran’s vibrant electronic music scene, Ebtekar is a co-founder of the SET Festival in Tehran.
