CINIMA

CINIMA

A live electronic music project where expressive musicianship, improvisation, and cinematic visuals come together to reimagine what a live electronic music performance can be.

Nima is a composer, performer, and multimedia artist whose work explores the intersection of live musicianship, electronic music, and immersive visual performance.

For more than three decades, he has pursued a singular artistic vision: bringing the expressive freedom of instrumental performance into electronic music. As a Chapman Stick player for over 30 years, Nima has developed a performance style where melody, harmony, bass, improvisation, and electronic production exist as equal parts of a single live performance, creating concerts that evolve in real time rather than simply reproducing studio recordings.

Performing under the name CINIMA, Nima combines original electronic music, live improvisation, cinematic visuals, and interactive performance technology to create immersive audiovisual experiences. Whether performing solo or alongside guest musicians, each show is built around original compositions while leaving room for spontaneity, allowing every performance to develop its own energy and character.

Beyond music, Nima’s creative work has expanded into visual storytelling, site-specific performance films, and immersive concert design. His performances have ranged from intimate venues to international stages, including stadium events and professional sports halftime shows, while remaining rooted in the same artistic goal: using technology to deepen the emotional connection between performer and audience.

This philosophy also extends to his pioneering Laser Harp performances. Rather than treating the instrument as a visual spectacle alone, Nima has developed it into a fully expressive musical instrument, continuing his exploration of how emerging technologies can expand the possibilities of live performance without replacing the human element at its core.

At the center of every CINIMA performance is the belief that technology is most powerful when it amplifies human creativity. Through original music, expressive musicianship, and cinematic presentation, CINIMA seeks to reimagine what a live electronic music performance can become.
