Palestinian nay and percussion

Lopa Kothari presents a special solo session with Palestinian nay virtuoso Faris Ishaq, whose new album Jasad explores the sonic possibilities of this ancient Middle Eastern flute. Accompanied by a leg-mounted frame drum and percussion, Faris's approach to his main instrument makes use of extended techniques, creating percussive sounds, multi-phonics and ethereal melodies that serve the central theme of his practice: the dialogue between breath, body and environment.

Produced by Silvia Malnati.
