bani haykal

Between debris and absence between defiance and silence something mutates chameleonic, restless, teeth-bared forms of disobedience; sounds and voices prayers / curses / shouts / fractures all trying to puncture tear split the veins of tyranny.
What does an uprising sound like when the world is burning through its borders?

Rupa Bentuk Rangka Derhaka (the form of disobedience) rises out of textures ruptures atmospheres crawling through the fog of struggle a place where violences overlap, where realities smear into each other, where horrors collapse across geographies that regimes pretend are separate.

At the center bani haykals bicycle-frame instruments:metal bent into refusal.
90% of the percussive + string body of this release hammered out of frames once meant for motion now repurposed toward resistance.
A line back to Gaza where bicycle frames become sewing machines washing machines survival engines rebuilt under siege tools carved from scarcity.

TRANSNATIONAL TESTIMONY

Field recordings by Hanna Hazzan gathered across Northern Palestine a ground trembling with longing, grit thick with the demand for liberation grain refusing erasure sound as counter-memory.

Layered into this the words of Shivangi Mariam Raj from Tracing the Coordinates of Absence colonial violence in India demolished homes stolen land histories that haunt ghosts that echo Palestines struggle across another map entirely.

Then Randa Jarrars voice: correspondence from Gaza, diaspora vibration, infrastructure collapse, everyday wreckage fragments carried through the fault lines of occupation.
She leads the listener into the hollowed-out rooms war leaves behind where silence often hits harder than the blast and rupture becomes its own ghost.

Together these elements carve an evolving sonic cartography a map that refuses stillness, refuses obedience, refuses the polite violences of borders.
A collective attempt to hear resistance as it forms deforms reforms across multiple, intersecting terrains of oppression.
