A lifelong expatriate, Bana Haffar was born in Saudi Arabia in 1987 and spent much of her childhood in the GCC. Through her switch from 10 years of electric bass, preceded by classical violin, to modular synthesizers in 2014, Bana is attempting to dismantle years of institutional conditioning in traditional systems of music theory and performance. She is interested in exploring sonic disintegration and coalescence into new forms and synthesized experiences. Bana lives in Asheville, North Carolina.
Une artiste née en Arabie Saoudite en 1987 qui vit et travaille maintenant aux États-Unis. Une électronique ambiant peuplée de miniatures organiques et d’êtres scintillants, dans une désintégration de la mélodie au profit d’une douce abstraction.
