The first recorded collaboration between Lebanese experimental practitioners Jad Atoui (NP, Kinematik Ensemble), Jawad Nawfal (Munma, Tasjiil Moujahed) and Sharif Sehnaoui (A Trio, Calamita). Jad Atoui is a Lebanese musician, composer and sound experimentalist, who relies on bio-sensors, field recordings and analog gear to create complex electronic compositions. In 2015, in collaboration with scientist Ivan Marazzi, Atoui spearheaded the “Biosonics” project, which aims to incorporate natural plants' behaviors as compositional tools. The project was later published in John Zorn’s “Arcana Book Vol. XVIII” and premiered at The National Sawdust as part of The Stone’s commissioning series. Atoui has worked and performed with renowned musicians such as John Zorn, Laurie Anderson, Marc Ribot and Chuck Bettis, and has an ongoing collaboration with Lebanese musician Anthony Sahyoun under the moniker NP. Lebanese electronic composer and producer Jawad Nawfal created sonic alter-ego Munma in the aftermath of Israel’s war on Lebanon in the summer of 2006 – releasing three acclaimed albums for Lebanese imprint Incognito in quick succession. In 2012, he started working with Lebanese slam poet El Rass, and the two musicians released two albums exploring the darker sides of rap and hip-hop, reconfiguring the genre to include elements of bass and electronica. Between 2014 and 2016, Nawfal collaborated with Belgian electronic producer Kirdec on several releases for his label Syrphe. His album “Three Voices” (2016) explored the possibilities of the human voice within an ambient electronic framework. In 2019 Nawfal founded label VVVA (vv-va.bandcamp.com), as a platform for his expanding collection of unreleased tracks and experimental side projects. Beirut-born guitarist Sharif Sehnaoui specializes in free improvisation and is equally at ease with both the electric and acoustic guitar. By preparing his instruments using specific techniques, he expands their sound spectrum in individual ways, experimenting as well with the percussive qualities of the guitar. Together with improvising musicians Mazen Kerbaj and Raed Yassin, Sehnaoui co-founded Irijal, an experimental music festival that has taken place annually since 2001 in Beirut – the only one of its kind in the Arab world. His numerous projects include 'A' Trio, Calamita, Wormholes and Mourtafa3 1000, among others.
