“In the ashes of my homeland, I planted my hopes like olive trees—knowing they would outlive the fire" — Fadwa Tuqan

Letters to the Sun emerged from a place beyond language. What if we stopped screaming into the void of geopolitical power games, and poured attention towards each other instead? What would it mean to build a space that assumes equal footing - a space where we can simply express, on our terms? For sorrow, for rage, for stillness… for the Sun.

This compilation is an attempt to do just that. A sound sanctuary built from words, sounds, breaths, instruments, and pauses - confronting the chasm of silence forced upon the rubble of Gaza, where each bomb is an affront to our humanity, and each whataboutism a dilution of horror. Here, we create space to feel and to share the within, from within, and for one another.

All proceeds of this album are donated to Revive Gaza’s Farmland, a project by Golo Besmlah and the Arab Group for the Protection of Nature. The initiative works to rehabilitate devastated agricultural land and rebuild local food systems. In a place where over 95% of farmland has been systematically destroyed - and where food is weaponised to subjugate and displace - the act of farming becomes an act of resistance.

The Tent (at the End of the Universe) 25 [with Gaby D'Annunzio]

Italo disco is a music genre which originated in Italy in the late 1970s and was mainly produced in the 1980s. Italo disco evolved from the then-current underground dance, pop, and electronic music, both domestic and foreign (hi-NRG, Euro disco) and developed into a diverse genre. The genre employs electronic drums, drum machines, synthesizers, and occasionally vocoders. It is usually sung in English, and to a lesser extent in Italian, Spanish and French (la plus belle langue au monde).

The origin of the genre's name is strongly tied to marketing efforts of the ZYX record label, which began licensing and marketing the music outside Italy in 1982.Italo disco faded in the early 1990s, then split into many genres (Eurobeat, Italo house, Italo dance).
