A Simple Song About Weather And Murder
2021
Commissioned work by Irtijal and Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival
Composed by Abed Kobeissy and Sary Moussa
“A simple song about weather and murder” is an electroacoustic revisit of the muwashah “hal ‘alā al-astār” (هل على الأستار), portraying the resolve of lovers as a murderous act punishable by society’s judgement, and echoing its helplessness facing the singularity of a cataclysm"
