Intimaa’ (‘belonging’ in Arabic), is a documentation of pieces composed for Touch’s 40th anniversary celebrations in Los Angeles and Santa Cruz in the Spring of 2022.
Pulling from ongoing research in weaving and textiles, the pieces are informed by the interchangeability of the weaver's process with the sequencing of sound – from sourcing and preparing materials to be woven (recording, editing, and formatting samples), preparing the loom (programming the sequencer), and finally, weaving the cloth (playing back, manipulating, and recording the sequence).
In contrast to her previous work with modular synthesizers, Intimaa’ was composed on a music tracker sequencer.
Bana Haffar is an electronic music composer working with the materiality of sound. Through research-creation, she works with sound design and sample based music sequencing as they relate to various non-musical systems.
In 2014 Bana, together with Eric Cheslak, founded Modular on the Spot in Los Angeles and in 2021 she co-founded the Beirut Synthesizer Center in Lebanon.
She is part of the ongoing Touch Mentorship programme

今作は、アラビックな織物テキスタイルの素材、繊維、織物という工程をエレクトロニクスに変換した、音の物質性をも取り込みながら、ミュージック・コンクレート的音素材、それらの音断片がカットアップ・コラージュされながらアンビエント・オリエンタル・イマジナリーに反復ミニマル化、微細で繊細なエレクトロニクス粒子がリズミック/ポリリズミックに弾け躍動して絡み合い音楽を奏でるイマジナリーでマジカルでメディテーショナルな音世界がめくるめく。名門TOUCHならではの音響品格アカデミックながらも、仄かにダンスミュージック的世界観の魅力も優しく内包されたモダン・サイエンスな実験音楽音響名作が誕生している。レコメンド。トラックリストからもぜひ。 (コンピューマ) (LPのコメントから参照)
