Kamilya Jubran and Werner Hasler unravel a musical universe of possibilities; “a unison of timbres, cultures complementing, the complicity of verses, and modes and languages confronting each other” in the duo’s own way of communicating respective origins and contemporaneity. Lyrical, within a sound full of contrast and ornamentation, they pursue an expansion of their repertoire with imaginative interpretation and improvisation.
Hinging on a practice of interrogating their hearing and their expression, their research and their desire, Kamilya Jubran and Werner Hasler draw a universe where everything seems possible. It is a unison of stamps, cultures completing each other, sentences colliding with each other, modes and languages meeting each other. It's a way of communicating their respective roots and presents. Kamilya Jubran and Werner Hasler let us gradually see the tenants and secrets of their artistic conversation. The alchemy of their exchange unveils a voyage into a unique, unheard sound.
As part of Kamilya Jubran’s Beyond 1932 Residency at King’s College London, the duo will perform و WA (Arabic for ‘and’), their third album (2019 Everest Records er_093 ). With widely open ears and expanding desires to enrich their capacity of dialogue, of interplay, the 20-years-old-duo continue their exploration of new sonic and phonetic territories with monthly residencies at Prozess Bern where they extended و, during 2022-2023.
The performance will be followed by a short Q&A with the artists.
The residency series is organised by Dr Rim Irscheid, practice-led researcher at King’s College London. The Beyond 1932 project is funded by the EPSRC via the UKRI/EC HE Guarantee ERC scheme (funder Award Reference: EP/X022749/1).
