Berlin-based Syrian musician Khaled Kurbeh makes his Research Records debut with Likulli Fadain Eqaeh, a tapestry of soundscapes written, performed and recorded across four years as part of his practice muhawalat [attempts, variations] and hawamesh [margins]: an outlet of gestures, sonic footnotes and observations from the everyday. Kurbeh's first release in seven years departs from his largely acoustic debut, Aphorisms, a collaboration with oud player Raman Khalaf and ensemble with elements of maqam and jazz. Likulli Fadain Eqaeh offers a collection of 10 electroacoustic compositions - they're brooding and experimental with hints of musique concrete. The tracklist implies a mapping or an itinerary. Field recordings of swallows and the snapping and un-shelling of sunflower seeds on interlude Nuzha I [Excursion I] are countered by sparse composition of low-end synth, harmonium, upright piano and prepared fender rhodes played with mallets on Darb I-II [Path I-II]. Patterns of cymbals and agitated bells appear on Jauqet Ajras [Choir of Bells], while currents of bowed strings shiver and stutter on al-Ajraf [The Cliffs]. The release captures four years of overlapping sonic wanders, finely balancing tensions of harmony and dissonance, stillness and resonance, texture and rhythm - recorded inside and outside. The gatefold vinyl features artworks by Ida Lawrence and includes a booklet of 10 painted variations of the one scene. On the outer cover, paths stretch under a dramatically accented and vivid sky; while inside, the same landscape appears over and over in another light. Likulli Fadain Eqaeh [to each space it's own rhythm], is set for release on July 18th 2025 via Research Records, Naarm\/Melbourne. A follow up solo piano album by Kurbeh, recorded in his studio in Kreuzberg, Berlin, will be released later this year.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Khaled Kurbeh","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41783850270791,"sku":"45332739","price":51.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/4440416-3413675.jpg?v=1751107246","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/kurbeh-khaled-likulli-fadain-eqaeh-vinyl-lp","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
