Al Wootton & Youmna Saba

Al Wootton & Youmna Saba

Composer and musicologist Youmna Saba explores the intersection of electroacoustic music and the Arabic language in its sung form, as well as the resonances of instruments and spaces. Blending voice, electronics and her digitally-augmented oud, the Lebanese musician performs side by side with multi-faceted electronic producer Al Wootton. Key figure of the UK underground music scene since the late 00s, Wootton later moved towards more minimal, leftfield techno productions, influenced by dub and psychedelic percussion. This new trajectory also brought him to work with renowned percussionist Valentina Magaletti: together they formed the project Holy Tongue as an outlet for their mutual love of post-punk and experimental dub music.
