Aswat Naqisa

A collaboration project with Amer Dakar, 2021-2022.








Sounds and noises emanating from the state of emptiness, deficiency, tenderness, forgetfulness, homesickness, spirituality, distortion, and tradition. Most of the sounds are the outcome of improvisation sessions where we conjure the sounds we have been consuming that are buried inside of our ears and hearts, the beautiful songs we consumed by choice and played on repeat and the sounds that were forced on us to hear, coming out in beautiful, distorted, and incomplete forms.
A research on the sounds of the hidden rituals, folklore, traditional practices in SWANA region and the presence of these sounds in contemporary experimental underground productions.
This research takes different forms, such as theoretical, visual, and sonic.
Examples of what Aswat Naqisa produce:
-Malbous Tarqos Album with Super Coco Noor.
-Green sittings short videos.
