Categories NewsLeave a Comment on Ruptured Album Release // Munma + Jad Atoui, Jawad Nawfal, Sharif Sehnaoui
In February 2024, we released two new albums by Lebanese electronic producer Jawad Nawfal aka Munma. TRANSIENT ORGAN is the first physical solo release by Jawad Nawfal since 2016’s landmark full-length Three Voices. The music on the album was composed by Nawfal between November 2021 and September 2023, in bouts of fractured creativity punctuated by frequent power cuts in his native city of Beirut. Transient Organ features the voice of regular Munma collaborator Caroline Tabet, whose evocative spoken word poetry appears on two tracks. Tabet also provided the drawing that graces the cover of the album. Mastered by Cedrik Fermont in Berlin, designed by Maya Chami in Beirut. Transient Organ is available as a digital album and limited release cassette of 40 copies, printed and duplicated in Montreal, Canada. Listen/Order: rupturedthelabel.bandcamp.com/album/transient-organ
MODERN INDIVIDUAL is the first recorded collaboration between Jawad Nawfal and Lebanese experimental musicians Jad Atoui (NP, Kinematik Ensemble) and Sharif Sehnaoui (‘A’ Trio, Calamita). The music on this album was composed and performed by Atoui, Nawfal and Sehnaoui in Beirut, between January and August 2023. Mastered by Cedrik Fermont in Berlin, designed by Maya Chami in Beirut. Modern Individual is available as a digital album and limited release cassette of 40 copies, printed and duplicated in Montreal, Canada.
