Used to a Guitar player that got into creative looping and moved on to modular synths and sound sculpting... now I am more of some sort of sound experimenter.
Main tool is Eurorack, but I use whatever toys that inspire..
My objective to music is to do something I find interesting and maybe good and to try to forge a personal and unique voice with my tools.. even if that is sort of impossible :-)
I also regard the road to that "voice" more important than the acutal goal.. i also invite you all to listen to me travling down that road..
So not all clips are meant to be "final products" they are more like a sound blogg of my development.. a develpment with unknown direction... as is all evolution

Enjoy

Honest, Raw, Wordless, Other music for the species of the Universe

Bana Haffar is a synthesist currently based in Montreal, Canada.

My 33 1/3 series book about the Aphex Twin album <i>Selected Ambient Works Volume II</i> was published in 2014. The book was one of the top 5 bestselling titles for the calendar year, and in 2015 was ranked by Pitchfork as one of the "33 best" of the 100-plus books in the 33 1/3 series. It has subsequently been translated into Japanese (2019) and Spanish (2018)

Since 2012 I have moderated the Disquiet Junto group, which began on SoundCloud. More at disquiet.com/junto. 

I've written for Nature, Pitchfork, The Wire, Down Beat, Boing Boing, NewMusicBox, Red Bull Music Academy, Art Practical, the website of The Atlantic, and many other publications. 

I've exhibited sound art at galleries in Los Angeles (Crewest), Manhattan (apex art), and Dubai (DUTAC), and I had a audio-visual installation at the San Jose Museum of Art as part of its 45th anniversary.

And since 1996 I've run the website Disquiet.com about the intersection of sound, art, and technology.
