This is a lil exercise in audio-impression since poetry is kinda meant to be heard aloud than to be read in a silent inner voice. The WOW itself is an onomatopoeic being, sound is holy mystery, music is the medium and the message, so listen up, lend an ear, take heed and let’s get unconscious honey, let’s get unconscious, honey, lts gt ncnscs hny..

aim: a vibological inquiry into the ephemeral dimensions of the groovement.

We are all children of the sun, the same sun, and we feel its warmth on our skin.
The same warmth that has fed the olive trees for centuries—the immortal tree that would endure, if not uprooted.

And the older we get, the more uprootings we witness.
And you may be told that even what you see with your own eyes, did not really happen so, even when it happens in the plain light of day.
And sometimes, we try to scream, or sing,
but the world fails to listen.

So we write,
we express ourselves.
We turn to the sun,
offering our words like prayers,
not to persuade, not to explain,
but simply to exist.

It may seem futile, but what are words if not seeds—scattered, carried by the wind,
feeding what has been torn from the earth,
so that perhaps, one day,
like seeds, we can regrow
what was cut down, buried, and burned.

"Look at the fruit as it sweetens and ripens.
There are indeed signs in that for a people who have faith."
—Al-Qur’ān 6:99

2 hours of musicopoetic lamentation with contributions by Adelaida, Asifeh, Bassem Breish, Drew McDowall, Drumloop, fatalism, Faten Kanaan, Fatma Al Jabari, Firas Shehadeh, Israa Shalaby, Jad Atoui, Jude Sajdi, Kareem Lotfy, Luke Elliott, Mayss, Nadine Makarem, Nicolás Jaar & Rama Alcoutlabi.

Letters To The Sun - Waking Life & Dreaming Live - Radio Alhara

ENHEDUANNA – a sonic reflection by Ilhem.

What remains of a name as it drifts through time? 
How does identity persist when time erases its traces?

Enheduanna is carried throughout the ages, lingering like an echo, a trace of presence in the vast expanse of universal memory. The first recorded poet, author and woman to sign her name, she defied oblivion, inscribing herself into history.

This mix explores the weight of name and the meaning of identity, the fragility of existence, and the intricate layers of memory, history, and the stories that shape us.

For Julius and Mosi—whose names and memories will never fade."
