Written and performed by
Youmna Saba
. Recorded and mixed by
Fadi Tabbal
at Tunefork Studios, Beirut. Produced by Youmna Saba and Fadi Tabbal. Mastered by
Stephan Mathieu
.
Wishah
("Veil" in Arabic) is a composition in five stages, written by Youmna Saba between 2021 and 2022, for voice, oud and electronics. Following her previous solo works
Njoum
(2014) and
Arb'een (40)
(2017), this album marks a significant turning point in Saba's journey. Created after leaving Beirut and settling in Paris,
Wishah
reveals a profound shift in her musical expression, informed by rigorous research in the sonic properties of sung Arabic phonemes and their role in shaping synthesized electronic sounds. The album employs a digital extension for the oud, a concept developed by Saba in her research project
Taïma'
. This device enhances the oud's sonic range, seamlessly integrating synthesized electronics. It also amplifies subtle, often overlooked sounds generated during playing, such as resonances and fingerboard friction. The composition is organized into five distinct stages, each contributing to a process of gradual revelation. As the tracks unfold, they strip away layers of constructed emotions and perceptions that have been intricately woven over time, to expose a space that no longer exists.
Wishah
is a farewell to home. The oud digital extension used on this record was developed by
Nicolas Canot
, and produced by Césaré -- Centre National de Création Musicale. Youmna Saba is a Lebanese musician, composer and musicologist. Her current research focuses on instrument and space resonances in different sonic and musical contexts. With four albums to this date, she has collaborated with musicians of different musical expressions such as
Kamilya Jubran
,
Floy Krouchi
,
Mike Cooper
and the
Neue Vocalsolisten Ensemble
, and has taken part in numerous artist residencies.
