زندگی و کار
آموزش موسیقی و هیپ‌هاپ
او می‌گوید در کودکی می‌خواست گیتار الکتریک بنوازد، اما ویولن را انتخاب کرد چون از پیانو به گیتار شبیه‌تر بود. شش سال ویولن کلاسیک و سپس چهار سال موسیقی خاورمیانه آموخت. به گفتهٔ خودش، از طریق گرافیتی با چند رپر آشنا شد و پیشنهاد کرد با سازهای ایرانی برایشان موسیقی بسازد تا صدای هیپ‌هاپ خودشان را پیدا کنند.۴
تهیه‌کنندگی و همکاری‌ها
از همکاری‌های او می‌توان به دستاشو مشت کرده اشاره کرد که هیچکس آهنگ آن را به مهدیار نسبت داده است. در کارنامهٔ بهرام نیز هر دو به‌عنوان تهیه‌کنندهٔ اشتباه خوب معرفی شده‌اند و طراحی صدا و میکس آلبوم به مهدیار نسبت داده شده است.۵۶
اروپا و موسیقی تجربی
مهدیار در مصاحبه‌ای در سال ۲۰۰۹ گفت دلیل اصلی خروجش از ایران، آزادی ساخت موسیقی بدون ترس از بازداشت بود.۷ او بعدها گفت آشنایی با موسیقی‌دانان الکترونیک در اروپا و شنیدن موسیقی‌شان از بلندگوهای پرصدای سالن‌ها، شیوهٔ تصور او از موسیقی را تغییر داد.۸ او همچنین توضیح داده که در کنار تهیه‌کنندگی و ساخت موسیقی فیلم، موسیقی تجربی می‌ساخت تا ایده‌هایش را بدون محدودیت بیازماید.۹
Seized
مهدیار دربارهٔ آلبوم انفرادی Seized، منتشرشده در سال ۲۰۱۸، می‌گوید قطعات تجربی قدیمی‌تر را انتخاب و بازپرداخت کرد و قطعات تازه‌ای هم ساخت.۲۹ او به یاد می‌آورد که «Seize» را اندکی پس از ورود به اروپا نوشت؛ صحنهٔ موسیقی الکترونیک اروپا توجه او را به بافت و جزئیات صدا برانگیخته بود.۱۰ در «Vow» از صدای ضبط‌شدهٔ بیداد به‌عنوان ساز، با ربع‌پرده‌ها روی میزان ۶/۸ استفاده کرد. او «Vow» و به‌طور کلی آلبوم را به اندیشیدن دربارهٔ شکل‌های مختلف افراط‌گرایی پیوند می‌دهد.۱۰ ایدهٔ «Money Money» از فکر کردن به طبقه، منزلت، تجمل و نخبه‌گرایی آغاز شد؛ او صدای Ash Koosha را طوری تدوین کرد که واژه‌های عنوان را تداعی کند و تکرار آن را چرخه‌ای توصیف کرد که خود را بازتولید می‌کند.۱۰ رادیوی NTS یک برنامهٔ مهمان مهدیار را در جدول لندن خود به تاریخ ۲۶ ژانویهٔ ۲۰۱۸ ثبت کرده است.۱۱
موسیقی فیلم
در موسیقی فیلم، وب‌سایت او نقش‌های آهنگساز فیلم، تهیه‌کنندهٔ موسیقی و هنرمند را برای موسیقی متن کسی از گربه‌های ایرانی خبر نداره ذکر می‌کند. همان سایت برای مستند Life Is Waiting میکس و مسترینگ را نام می‌برد.۳

At first it wasn’t that serious, we were learning the basics of music, practicing with easier instruments like xylophone and recorder but after a year or two our music teacher told my parents that if I still want to pursue music it’s time for me to choose an instrument and learn classical music. I liked electric guitar (because of Pink Floyd) but the teacher told my parents that I should either choose violin or piano. I chose violin because it looked more similar to electric guitar.
I practiced violin and studied classical music for 6 years with different private tutors and then I got bored of it and went on to study middle eastern music for 4 years with another private tutor. So I can’t say it was my idea, it was a combination.
In Iran, specially at that time, there was no such thing as “industry”. Persian hip hop was at its first days and rappers were using downloaded instrumentals from the internet. I met few rappers through graffiti and told them I can make music for them using Iranian instruments so we can come up with our own version hip hop instead of copying American hip hop. I became a well known producer quite fast and from there I went on to make other types of music such as electronic, fusion and film music.

The big difference is your music is not illegal in the West. You don't have to fear being arrested and imprisoned just for making a particular genre of music. That's a big change. Yes it is. And it's the main reason I got out of Iran.

“Coming to Europe meant I found a lot of new music, a lot of electronic musicians that I didn’t know in Iran. Seeing how they perform and hearing the music through super loud speakers in venues, that changed a lot for me — even the way I look at music. Before that I had only heard music on studio monitors, in cars and on headphones. It’s a very different way of imagining music.”

Since I started I was always making experimental music on the side at the same time that I was producing other artists or scoring films. It was just a joyful process to give myself a lot of space with no boundaries in order to express my emotions and thoughts, testing different limits and seeing if I could push them further. I knew one day I would eventually put them out somehow but had no precise plan and wasn’t in a hurry to do it because I was quite busy with other commissioned projects that I was working on.
It was actually only a couple of years ago that two close friends of mine who had heard many of these unreleased tracks, started pushing me relentlessly, telling me almost every week that certain people need to hear this side of my production, so I finally sat down with a theme in mind, selected and retouched some of the tracks that I had made throughout the years, composed some new ones and Seized was created. It’s for this reason that I have to thank my friend Hirad Sab who’s one of my favorite visual artists, who’s also responsible for the creative direction of my album and directed the video for ‘Money Money’ which will come out soon. The other friend is Ash Koosha who’s one of my favorite musicians and with whom I have a lot of unreleased music that we’ve made together. I’ve actually used his voice on a couple of tracks on the album including ‘Money Money’.

It was originally written in 2011 but at the time it didn't have vocals. The idea was to make a modern melancholic intro with typical electronic instrumentation but with an unpredictable arrangement. Also, it had to give some sense of opening and entering some sort of unknown territory. During that time I was kinda obsessed with sound textures and details. I had just arrived in Europe and the European electronic scene had impressed and inspired me in that regard.
In Iran, I used to record many vocal samples from the traditional singer Bidad. In 2006 I decided to make a song using Bidad's voice as an instrument with quarter tones over a 6/8 time signature which is a very common time signature in both Iranian traditional and commercial music but not so widely used in Western music as far as I’m aware. In terms of arrangement, I was more inspired by other forms of storytelling in art such as paintings and films.
In a way, I was avoiding a verse/chorus structure and this approach can be seen in the majority of the album. As for the concept of the 'Vow', the original title was 'Qisas from the World'. I was thinking about different forms of extremism that exists all around the world, which is one of the main concepts of the album.
I originally wrote this in 2010 for the soundtrack of a performance to be played by a quartet in a museum in Paris. I ended up not using it in the soundtrack even though it was one of my favorite compositions. Later I recorded it using my violin and some plugins over a 3/4 beat. My initial thoughts behind the track were around the concepts of class, status, luxury, and elitism which, looking at the current world, boiled down to money.
The concept behind the arrangement is illustrating a closed cycle that reproduces itself in different forms but with the same core and that's where the repetition of the word "money" comes from. I edited some of the vocals I had from my good friend and great musician Ash Koosha to make it seem like he's singing "Money Money" with some sort of accent.
