Beyond 1932 Residency: Kareem Samara
Old Queens Head, N1 8LN , [Venue Details]Exploring time, space and unhealthy obsessions with authenticity and “untouchable sounds” in maqam-based music, Kareem Samara explores how sound, rhythm and harmony can be manipulated using amplified Oud with live and electronic percussion.
His one-hour performance is separated in different sections that explore how Sultanah, a state of ecstasy and loss of self, can be achieved through sonic manipulation. The act of delaying, processing, and interacting with voices and speeches from ancestors across time, his soundscapes connect historical imaginations and research-based practices of Arab Futurism to create new narratives on traditional Arabic music.
The residency series is organised by Dr Rim Irscheid, practice-led researcher at King’s College London. The Beyond 1932 project is funded by the EPSRC via the UKRI/EC HE Guarantee ERC scheme (funder Award Reference: EP/X022749/1).
