Label: Touch - Tone71

英老舗レーベルTouchから注目の女性作家が登場！！ 1987年にサウジアラビアで生まれ、幼少期の頃からプロよりクラシックバイオリン&ベースの訓練を受け独自の音楽性を磨いてきた女性音楽家Bana Haffar。その後モジュラーシンセサイザーに強い興味を持ち現在はそれを軸にパフォーマンスを行っている人物で、本作は彼女の1stライブを纏めた最新作[Genera]。随所に細かく現れるメロディアスな断片、ランダムになり過ぎない程よい解体具合の音響、とにかくその繊細さが何より美しい一枚です。大推薦。

A lifelong expatriate, Bana Haffar was born in Saudi Arabia in 1987 and spent much of her childhood in the GCC. Having trained as a professional bass player and a classical violin player, she has now embraced electronic music fully, exploring live modular synthesizer performance. She is an enthusiastic proponent of the latest Moog and eurorack technology and has a growing discography of releases (VENT, Make Noise Records) in the last couple of years that highlight a unique melodic direction. Through synthesis, Bana is attempting to dismantle years of institutional ‘conditioning’ in traditional systems of music theory. She is interested in the disintegration and coalescence of sound into new forms and synthesized experiences. Bana currently lives in Asheville, North Carolina. Genera - Live at AB Salon, Brussels, recorded in May 2019, marks her live debut in Europe.
