about

A spectral dark ambient music piece, where Gaza's nightly soundscape is replayed as micro/atonal music. I watched a live stream from Gaza, and its contrasting soundscape of war machines, chants and animals disturbed my mind.

The spectral tools I've made in Ableton pick up the four strongest frequencies at positions I've chosen. They are then replayed with musical instruments and effects in 8192 steps / semitone accuracy.

The piece also features an excerpt of a poem The State of Siege by Marwan Darweish.

lyrics

If you are not rain, my love
Be tree
Sated with fertility, be tree
and If you are not tree, my love
Be stone
Saturated with humidity, be stone
and If you are not stone, my love
be moon
In the dream of your beloved one, be moon
[So spoke a woman
to her son at his funeral]
