This call is part of a large project led by Ms. Laden Nooshin, which examines urban sounds in Tehran with a team of ethnomusicology students.

The Sonic Tehran project started in 2021 and a large number of Iranian students from all over the world exchange views with each other in monthly meetings, and so far the project has been welcomed and willing to cooperate in it.

In the call of Tehran Sonic project, composers have been invited to send their works with the approach of looking at the sounds of Tehran again by March 20, 2010 at the latest.
