The soundtrack to If There's Space I'll Stay, If There's Time I'll Sing was composed by Antoine Daviaud In 2020, Antoine Daviaud spent a month in Armenia where he met a local musician and folk enthusiast, Kenas Ter-Aristakesyan. Together they visited Armenian churches with Kenas performing folk songs inside them and Antoine recording his performance. Kenas' voice became the primary sound of this exhibition accompanied by the country's soundscape, all recorded and composed by Antoine.

Antoine Daviaud is a French composer who writes music for theater and film. His minimalistic approach to orchestral writing and field recordings leads him to conceive of any sound as a material.

EastEast Talks: Fahad Al-Attiyah

During the span of his lengthy career, Rabih Beaini has developed a reputation as one of the most forward thinking musicians and curators in the modern experimental and electronic scenes. It was a long way from his first dj-sets in his native Lebanon in 1990s to the creation of his own imprint Morphine Records in Italy in the early 2000s, which gained a cult status when he later relocated to Berlin. He has experimented with analog techno under his former alias Morphosis, curated programs for festivals such as CTM in Germany and Urvakan in Armenia, and released records by innovative artists from the Western Asia, North Africa, and South-East Asia. 
Towards the end of Berlin's lockdown, he spoke with curator Andrei Zailer about Lebanon, his music roots, and ways to preserve cultural traditions while constantly moving forward.
