Hasan Hujairi is a Bahraini artist, composer, and writer. His work often explores the notion of the outsider, confronting (historiographic) superstructures, and the nature of constructing narratives within time. He holds a DMA (Doctor of Musical Arts) in music composition from Seoul National University (Seoul, South Korea), where he researched reorienting the narrative associated with the maverick composer tradition to be more inclusive of composers working outside the Western classical music tradition. He also holds a Masters of Economics from Hitotsubashi University (Tokyo, Japan) in economic history and regional economics, and wrote his thesis on the significance of conceiving the Gulf region in both its littorals within a Braudelian historiographic framework. As of January 2022, he joined the Sharjah Art Foundation as manager of the music department.

Listening is not neutral.
Listening shapes the reality we live in.
Listening is shaped by ethics and politics and leads back to it.
Listening is directly linked to memory and identity.
Listening is as important as speaking.
Listing is an active act.

We want to establish new ways to think and act collectively via sonic means. Sound’s ability to touch the listener, to involve them via emotional and physical affection, turns the sonic into a partner in the fight for a more just world. Sonic Agency is led by urgency and the pressing need for articulation. It is an effort to enable and reinforce transformative processes in our societies, while critically questioning hegemonic systems. Sonic Agency opens up space for a caring community of equals. Sonic Agency is grounded in the sonic’s ability to introduce the feeling of connectivity, and the possibility of community – a community yet to come.

ولا حدا سائل فينا

بإذنه مش ح تخطط
نفسها بحلم يحن تغمض
ولا بتتعب بتفلت بتقلب جد عصفور

بدهم وينك ودها بصوبك
ولّا إمك بدها تصبّر
ولّا تحبّك ولّا تأمّن فتة خُبْز

بيصحوا بساير ولا حدا سائل
الوضع متدردك بدها اتضبضب
فوج بتصفّط بدها تصفي حد البيت
 
انسى محنّط بدنا نشمّط 
بدنا انطنط نبدى نطبّل 
ول بدي أحدد وين صفينا بالوقت الفايت

خلفي إيانا ميمة زيدها بيبي
زيدها بيبي وحياة أبوك
كم من واحد راحوا بدها بيبي
زيدها بيبي هي أولى

وولا حدا سائل فينا
عالم مش سائل فينا

مقاومة بكل الوسائل بتقرّر
لكن نطلع من هالحتة بشروشنا بنعمّر دار
مقاومة بكل الوسائل بتقرّر
لكن نطلع من هالحتة بشروشنا بنعمّر دار


هدّينا الصمت بدها تفز وبدها تكمّل
بدينينا نصمم بدنا وبيدينا بدها تعمّر 
وبإيدينا نحمّل ردم ونزرع تحته نشتّل
إن تفديها تقولي تهمة
 
خلفي إيانا ميمة زيدها بيبي
زيدها بيبي وحياة أبوك
كم من واحد راحوا بدها بيبي
زيدها بيبي هي أولى

وولا حدا سائل فينا
عالم مش سائل فينا
بشروشنا بنعمّر دار

"Turn on, weird in, drop out"
 Many roads lead to the origin of the Fullfridge Music label’s first compilation. But lets start with the most relevant facts. Twelve new titles, signed by fourteen of the utmost inspiring producers of the moment, aged from 20 to 40 years old and coming from some of the farthest corners of the earth: Ciudad Juarez, Tokyo, Manama, Cairo, Tunis, Philadelphia, Montreal, Amsterdam, Berlin, Paris, Biarritz and ... Grenoble, where the label was born.

Yet this worldwide selection has always been void of any particular desire for prestige. As Cloudnumber -the brains behind the compilation- reminds us: "Nice doesn’t win an argument”. So if there were anything that could definitely not be ignored in this selection, it would be its love for contrast and paradoxes. Hot or cold? Ethnology or exoticism? Digital or analogue? Utopian or Dystopian? Traditional or futuristic? Global network or remoteness? New technologies or DIY? Virtual reality or fantasized virtuality?

Rather than ready-made answers and three step business plans, the Classics From the Bluweirdo’s wireless tribe prefers unsolvable issues and accidentally crossing paths by sheer luck.  And this is exactly where it finds its relevance. After all, what would a label’s editorial line be if not a poetic attempt to interpret the world with rhythms, sounds and melodies? To build bridges between schools of thought initially considered contradictory or unrelated? To clear paths through new territories while keeping up with the world’s ongoing buzz?

Addressing all these issues, we could almost forget to talk about the music, which would be a shame since that’s really what everything’s about. One foot in experimental, the other in dance music and ears bathing in bass, Classics From the Bluweirdo drops the perfect wobbly equilibrium to dive into the delights of imbalance: Icy soundtrack from a tropical island stuck in an eternal sunset and governed by a king in exile (The King Of The Bluweirdo?), this compilation proposes a somewhat cheeky way to experience the traditional 2014 tunes, emphasizing on street corners instead of the deep web futurism. Points of view are everything, as always...

Hasan Hujairi - How to be good and complacent

تساؤلات قرية صغيرة

WILMAARCHER_2_RICHBOY

بن‌بست، شب
می‌زنه بارون
آروم می‌شوره راه کوچه‌ رو/

زنده‌ست تن
گرفته تو دست
یه قلب
هم باز و داغه راه خون/

افتاده مست
درد از روی شونه‌ش
می‌پیچه تا عمق استخون/

زنده‌ست تن
می‌شینه از دور
تو نور می‌بینه راه خونه‌ رو/

بن‌بست، شب
می‌خونه افسون
می‌سوزونه خاک کوره‌ رو

*می‌رقصه از دور، نوری که تو چشمش تیغ می‌کشه
صدای لاستیک جیغ می‌کشه
یه سایه لای انگشتاش چرخ می‌زنه
زخم شونه‌ش تیر می‌کشه*

تقدیر، یه ایده‌ست
بازیش، بی‌رحم و بی‌قاعده‌ست
تقصیر، بی‌فایده‌ست

بن‌بست، شب
می‌زنه بارون
آروم، خون می‌شوره کوچه‌رو...
