Youmna Saba: I covered the planet with a dried leaf

for six voices, oud and electronics

Vocal outbursts,
a piece of silent wood,
a broken discourse.
Intertones that form a discourse;
a lingering trace.

(Youmna Saba)

Youmna Saba (*1984, Beirut) is a musician and musicologist whose research focuses on the interrelationship between classical Arabic music from the Mashriq (mostly focussing on the vocal repertoire of the early 20th century) and electronic and electroacoustic arrangements. She is currently working on a research project (Taïma’) that explores the Qasida (a musical form based on the vocal improvisation of classical poetry texts) and the musical dimension of the Arabic language as tools to generate new methods of working with electronics.

She has participated in international programmes and residencies (Hwaeom Residency, South Korea 2017, Sound Development City, 2016, Gyeonggi Creation Center, South Korea 2013…) and is a two-time winner of the music residency programme at the Cité Internationale des Arts in Paris, where she has been developing her project since January 2020.
