about

A genre-annihilating album transgressing the boundaries of experimental Arabic, electronic, avant-pop, dark ambient, and industrial forms, suspending their influences in a sound that feels adjacent to each yet defined by none. Engaging layālī vocalizations, repurposed regional samples, processed classical instruments, synthesizers, and nonlinear acoustic, analog, and digital rhythms, it opens a sonic language shaped by the sediment of recursive collapse.

Wahj explores collapse as an enduring condition without being reduced to it, rejecting the notion of defeat and directing attention to what endures within it: resistance, possibility, and hope. Treating collapse as a language, it imagines futures that lie beyond it, focusing on what is often overlooked in the midst of ruin, what survives, thrives, and lingers. It attends to what can awaken the fervor of resistance and the persistence of possibility. In doing so, it turns to Wahj (وهج, radiance) as an evocation of what lies before us yet remains too abstract to grasp. The album invites the listener to look into that light, that radiance, and imagine what possibilities might emerge.
