Lebanese musician, composer and musicologist YOUMNA SABA explores, in both theory and practice, the relationship between singing voice, the Arabic language and electroacoustic music. In her musical work, she expands the oud through new playing techniques. Interested in the materiality and tactility of sound, she approaches the traditional instrument as a resonant space and sound body, while her voice possesses astonishing emotional depth. The result sounds unsettlingly beautiful.
