about

Recorded in a bespoke studio built by the composers in the United Arab Emirates, in which they recorded for the duration of their eponymous solo show. UAE-based musicians and artists created a series of experimental electronic recordings, interpreting Bradley-Weaver's traditional Emirati weaves as graphic scores.

The weaves are read as an abstracted form of music and fed through digital systems to produce sound. The original patterns, interpreted through an Atari computer, personalise the tools and instruments of the space.

Featuring oud, hand made tambura and an Arabic rabab as well as electronics, musique concrete made by children, and vocals from local artists (non-singers). Previously unheard aside from on a strictly limited vinyl purchase, 100 records released on The Vinyl Factory as a limited edition artist's release. These seven recordings were pressed onto 180-gram heavweight vinyl, featuring a bespoke sleeve with unique handmade traditional Emirati weave. All copies were hand-signed and numbered by the artists.

Aside from the limited edition 100 vinyl copies, this audio is released nowhere else, although it has featured on BBC 3 and other arts programming broadcasts.
