SOUNDWALK + DALINE JABBOUR PERFORMANCE IN BEIRUT

BrowserPreview tmp3 600x400 SOUNDWALK + DALINE JABBOUR PERFORMANCE IN BEIRUT

The Rub Al Khali desert, or ‘Empty quarter’, is one of the largest sand deserts in the world, encompassing most of the southern part of the Arabian peninsula, including parts of the UAE, Oman, Yemen and Saudi Arabia.
In October, the Soundwalk collective made a one-month travel across this desert of silence, recording hours of hertzian frequencies as well as songs, prayers and sounds of the sand and wind.

Before presenting “Eternal Hell” at the opening of Abu Dhabi’s Art, Talks & Sensations Art Fair, Soundwalk will be playing live this thursday in Beirut, Lebanon, at Zico House, for an exclusive performance, with great traditional arabic singer and improviser Daline Jabbour as a special guest !

Our house in Beirut is located exactly between three Mosques. According to which balcony or window you will head to, you will hear one or the other, or a combination of the three.
This is a recording of the third daily prayer time, the Dhuhr, on Sunday morning, from the balcony in the back. The image shows the view.
