Loga Ramin Torkian (Persian: لوگا) رامین ترکیان)) is a musician and the co-founder of the groups Axiom of Choice and Niyaz. Both groups incorporate Persian and Middle Eastern themes into their music.[1] Torkian composes music and plays several instruments, including the Iranian tar, the Turkish saz, and the GuitarViol, an electric guitar-like instrument that uses a bow and is adapted from a 14th-century instrument.[2] Several of the lyrics in his songs draw on or include traditional Middle-Eastern prayers, songs or chants.[3] His music has also appeared in several films, such as The Chosen One (1995), America So Beautiful (2001), Plastic Flowers Never Die (2008), and Crossing Over (2009).
