Alternative cover

The album was unveiled on March 11, 2014, in a ceremony held in Vahdat Hall.[1]

Beyond Any Form includes eight songs in Persian language based on lyrics from renowned Persian classical poet Mowlana Jalaleddin Rumi and contemporary poets Shafiei Kadkani, Simin Behbahani and Hossein Monzavi.[2]

Composer Tahmoures Pournazeri describes the album as an "Iranian contemporary music" album,[3] lacking Radif[4] and inspired by classical, Tanbur, Flamenco and Kurdish music.[4]

The 5th track, is based on a melody from Paco de Lucía[4] and the 7th track is played improvisationally.[3]

The album also features American composer David K. Garner, Indian Sitar virtuoso Shujaat Khan, Venezuelan flautist Pedro Eustache and American blues guitarist Jimmy Johnson.[5]

Beyond Any Form was among the best-selling albums in Iran.[2]

A music video of Why Did You Leave Me? was directed by Baran Kosari for the unveiling ceremony, featuring a number of Iranian actors, including Sahar Dolatshahi, Navid Mohammadzadeh and Mehrdad Sedighian among others.[6]
