Placeless is the first collaboration between Kronos and Iranian singers Mahsa and Marjan Vahdat. Recorded in Oslo's Kulturkirken Jakob in November 2018, the album features 14 songs composed by Mahsa Vahdat to classical poems by Hafez and Rumi and the works of contemporary Iranian poets Forough Farrokhzad, Mohammad Ibrahim Jafari and Vahdat's husband Atabak Elyasi. Composers Sahba Aminikia, Aftab Darvishi, Jacob Garchik and Elyasi arranged the songs for string quartet.
"Captivating… The beautiful, ornamented melodies sigh, cry, and speak to something deep within every human being. The music is so dynamic - a great reminder of how fresh and different classical music can sound." - Jonathan Lakeland (Pitch-Shift)
