"Before the Rāga Comes the Drone" is an exploration of sound and form through a listening study of the drone phenomenon, utilizing age-old acoustic instruments. Presented within an 8-channel spatial sound setup, the piece thoughtfully distributes harmonic layers, inviting listeners to experience a sense of depth and dimensionality between different frequencies and overtones more clearly. The work is supported by the Berlin Senate as part of the Fellowship Program Weltoffenes Berlin.

Diasporic Listening to Berlin’s Soundscape
November 2022 | Cashmere Radio (Berlin)
In this radio show, I participated in a collective listening to recorded Berlin soundscapes and engaged in a discussion about how experiences of migration inform the way we listen to the city. As a result of this exchange, together with the workshop’s facilitator – Yara Mekawei – the participants produced a collective work to be broadcasted on Cashmere Radio, FM 88.4 MHz Berlin, and 90.7 Potsdam.
