\"\"We have been under the spell of Jerusalem In My Heart<\/a>‘s compelling and entrancing compositions for a while now, so we’re excited to know they are back with a new album. Entitled Daqa’iq Tudaiq<\/em>, which translates as \u201cminutes that bother\/oppress\/harass\u201d,\u00a0it follows 2015’s widely acclaimed If He Dies, If If If If If If <\/em>and arrives on October 5th through Constellation<\/a>. Currently operating as the duo of extraordinary composer and producer Radwan Ghazi Moumneh and Charles-Andr\u00e9 Coderre delivering live projections on 16mm film, the new album sees Jerusalem In My Heart continue “to expand the horizons of its profound conceptual and aesthetic engagement with Arabic\/Middle-Eastern traditions”, as the press release describes.
\nEnvisioned by Moumneh for a long time, side one is a dream come true, featuring a modern orchestral version of the popular Egyptian classic Ya Garat Al Wadi<\/em> by Mohammad Abdel Wahab. To bring this adaptation to life, Moumneh assembled a 15-piece orchestra in Beirut, and prolific composer and musician Sam Shalabi as arranger and musical director.
\nOn side two the record offers four tracks by Moumneh “which push rupture and decomposition\/recomposition of tradition further into avant-garde territory”. The otherworldly and mesmerising ‘Thahab, Mish Roujou’, Thahab’ is one of these four tracks, and it serves as a wonderful first taste for what’s to come. The track comes with a video by Charles-Andr\u00e9 Coderre. Watch it below.<\/p>\n
