A new radiopiece made by Palestinian soundartist Dirar Kalash in the Worm studio, february/march 2024

“underneath the rubble my hand became a will”

 a description:

This piece is made up entirely from sounds collected from Palestine, and is composed from different field recordings : protests, nature, markets, city streets, and from different locations across Palestine.

Those sounds were then heavily processed and composed, as an analogical approach to the political realities of Palestine, and the spatial and temporal transformation of both the land and the people –their movements, their lives, and their deaths.
