Before the Rāga Comes the Drone
February 2024 | Errant Sound (Berlin)
"Before the Rāga Comes the Drone" is a contemplative 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.
Your Listening is a Paracosm
June 2023 | Solo show at distant.gallery (Berlin edition)
‘Your Listening is a Paracosm’ shifts perceptual perspectives through sound and ritual, drawings, and prompts. It unfolds as an experiment for the web and simultaneously permeates through radio transmissions. Each piece is a poetic listening score to explore sound as an expression of consciousness. Dedicated to Quantum Listening and Nāda Yoga philosophy, the intricately woven constellation reimagines sound as its own entity and ecosystem. Presented as a solo show at distant.gallery.

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.
Sonic Rituals Vol II.
December 2022 | Refuge Worldwide (Berlin)
In this essayistic/embodied radio mix, I’m thinking how I can explore and initiate a ritual, and connect through sonic experiments with others, putting together a fluid long-form composition of intimate connections and subleties where we are able to notice how the ear, breath, voice, gesture, and movement alters the way we relate to ourselves and one another. Made in collaboration with the community radio station Refuge Worldwide.
