Soundscapes, LAND’s programming series dedicated to experimental music and sound-based practices, continues on Saturday, June 15 with a performance by multidisciplinary artist Maral curated for LAND by Paulina Lara.
Maral’s sonic palette incorporates a collage of Iranian Classical & Folk samples and explores genres of experimental electronic production such as noise, punk/post-punk, and dub.
As part of Maral’s practice she mixes traditional and folk music and reimagines new spaces for these ancient melodies & sounds to live & grow. Creating a new future for them as well as continuing the tradition of passing down these melodies. She imagines how they would sound like in a punk, dub, or electronic band and lets the samples lead the way. She is jamming with her ancestors.
