“For the person whose heart has been conquered by the fire of the love of God Most High, music is important, for it makes that fire burn hotter. However, for anyone whose heart harbors love for the false, music is fatal poison for him and is forbidden to him.” (Al-Ghazzali: On Listening To Music)

Between 2002 and 2011, I made many hours of recordings at various zaouia (Su? shrines), mosques and religious spaces in Morocco, Egypt, Syria, and Lebanon while attending various prayers and ceremonies (dhikr, zar, lilat, adhan, salat, tilawa). At the request of the respective religious leaders, no ‘musical’ material has been used. I found birds, resonant tails, breathes, winds, noise, overheard conversations, and extraneous sounds floating in, sounds that were left behind.

The tensions within Sharia about the permissibility and place of music is long, complex and ongoing. Virtue or poison? As well as engaging debates within Islam, the bird ghost at the zaouia looks outwards, asking questions about sonic orientalisation – tourism that captures the ‘ethnic’ and colonises the ear. The history of Leighton House and its association with the imperial period offers a special context in which to immerse your ears.

Location: Leighton House, 12 Holland Park Road, London W14 8LZ
Opening hours: 10am-5:30pm, closed Tuesdays

turqouise noise by dubsahara

The happiness and peace of each can only be the happiness and peace of all.

from http://wahiduddin.net/mv2/XII/XII_I_10.htm

Tuning of the heart.

Tuning the heart means changing the vibrations, bringing them to a certain pitch which is the natural one where you feel the joy and ecstasy of life.

Cosmic Scum

Cosmic Scum by dubsahara

“With the passage of an immense length of time, conditions begin to change. A scum, with the character of boiled, milky rice, begins to accumulate on the cooling earth, and the terrestrial inhabitants begin to taste it and enjoy the sensation. This new sense pleasure leads to craving and an ever-increasing dependence on the scum for nourishment. The earthly residents find that their formerly light, ethereal bodies become gross and solid and more differentiated in shape and appearance. Gradually, the waters covering the earth subside; the mists disperse and the sun and moon are clearly revealed in the heavens.”

Isotantric by dubsahara

When even our self does not belong to us, what else in the world can we call our own?

All that we collect and gather in the external world for our happiness and comfort is limited. Not even a thousandth part of this world that we possess can we really call our own kingdom, our world. But our mind can create and can collect numberless thoughts and impressions, which all make up its real world. All our possessions, all that we collect in life, all these things which we shall have to leave one day are transitory; but that which we have created in our thought, in our mind, that lives.

THE THREE SYMBOLS OF VICTORY IN THE FIGHT AGAINST DISHARMONY

The 3 Symbols by dubsahara

The pairing of the six traditional enemies creates the three mystical animals;

garuda and snow-lion

otter and fish

crocodile and sea-snail.

These animal symbols of universal love represents the spreading of harmony,

as they depict combinations of mutually hostile animals.

Donkey-carrot-paradox by dubsahara

Wabi-sabi represents a comprehensive Japanese world view or aesthetic centered on the acceptance of transience. The aesthetic is sometimes described as one of beauty that is “imperfect, impermanent and incomplete”. It is a concept derived from the Buddhist assertion of the Three marks of existence (sanboin), specifically impermanence (mujo).

Characteristics of the wabi-sabi aesthetic include asymmetry, asperity (roughness or irregularity), simplicity, economy, austerity, modesty, intimacy and appreciation of the ingenuous integrity of natural objects and processes.

Wabi-sabi is the most conspicuous and characteristic feature of traditional Japanese beauty, a sense of serene melancholy and a spiritual longing.

Wabi-sabi nurtures all that is authentic by acknowledging three simple realities:
nothing lasts, nothing is finished, and nothing is perfect.

First build of a track i wrote in cairo during the revolution in spring 2011.

Khaleeji Dub by dubsahara

it was late at night in a studio in Giza.
everyone had left because of the curfew,
so it was only me and a couple of the night guys left.
and then that bass line dropped like a crystal of joy.
this is the first build,, very raw..
