This episode is a contribution by Radio WORM.
This new radio piece, recorded in the WORM studio over February and March 2024 by Palestinian sound artist Dirar Kalash, is made entirely out of sounds collected from Palestine, and is composed using field recordings of protests, nature, markets, city streets, all from different locations across Palestine.
These sounds were then heavily processed and composed, as an analogical approach to the political realities of Palestine, and the spatial and temporal transformation of both the land and the people – their movements, their lives, and their deaths.
Dirar Kalash (b. 1982) is a musician and sound artist whose work spans a wide range of musical and sonic practices within a variety of instrumental, compositional and improvisational contexts. Kalash also extends his practice into inter-disciplinary theoretical research. He has produced several solo and collaborative music albums and is active as an improvising musician.
