In this episode, we talk with Palestinian musician Dirar Kalash about his take on “experimentation” in arts and the relationship between the body and music—beyond what the ears can hear. Living with impaired hearing, Dhirar relies in his live performances on a deep understanding of musical notation, seeing playing as something closer to logic and mathematics.

This episode was co-produced by Sowt and Komet Kashakeel, with voice actor Ramzi DeHani narrating our guest musician, Dirar Kalash.
