This mix complies of different types of music I edited and sounds I experimented with for this program, inspired by the story of Middle East and responding to Etel Adnan’s poem sent by you. The poem in this mix is read by Lama Abo Chuqeir.

Thank you, Yamen, SACF, Root Radio and everyone who invited me to share my sound here. You are all doing an amazing work. Also, much love and appreciation for Radio AlHara, I have been keeping up since the beginning, it is outstanding and truly inspiring.

Love and gratitude, Lara

SSS presents an online radio programme in collaboration with SACF, London's Syrian Arts and Culture Festival.

The programme features 18 mixes produced by Syrian DJ's, collectors, producers and researchers in response to a poem by Etel Adnan.These were broadcasted online on Radio Alhara and Root Radio.

Excerpt from: "Night" by Etel Adnan in English and translated into Arabic:

I am a night bird. I search in barely visible corners the pencils, erasers, and writing slates of my early years…
I continue to hug walls. This hour is tired of dealing with ancestors. Many things are receding along with the seasons, and the sun has set, that was just there
I will pursue my flight…

قصيدة مترجمة عن الانكليزية من "ليل" مجموعة شعرية للكاتبة إيتيل عدنان

أنا عصفورةٌ ليليةٌ
،أبحثُ في الزَّوايا المخبَّأة
عن أقلامِ الرصاص و المحايات
… و الكتابات من سنيني الأولى
لا زلت أعانق الجدران
تعبت هذه الساعة من تداعيات أجدادي
تنحسرُ مع الفصول أشياءٌ كثيرةٌ
والشَّمسُ التي كانت هنا غابتْ
أما أنا سأستمر في التحليق

as nothing; so everything
