Organised by Tashattot and Globe Aroma in collaboration with Ancienne Belgique.
This concert is the culmination of the Sonic Sessions Residency and presents the work of three electronic musicians from the SWANA region, who are now based in Brussels. Through their collaboration, the trio created a unique sonic performance that merges diverse musical influences and experimental techniques.
The Sonic Sessions Residency is a two-month programme – organised by Tashattot Collective with the support of Globe Aroma and Ancienne Belgique – that provides artists with the room and resources to explore connections between music, identity and politics.
Through workshops, rehearsals and jam sessions, the musicians fuse their personal styles to form a performance that reflects both their roots and their innovative approach to sound.
