Sonic Diaries

        The sonic diaries is an ongoing project that documents personal memories through weaving field recordings with music instrumentation.
This being the first method I followed when first learning the basics of music production, it feels like the most natural way to archive feelings, people, and spaces I want to remember for a long time. There really is no structure or rules to it other than not thinking within the singer/songwriter framework. These aren’t musical pieces but rather responses to and documentations of moments of great value.

Ichi-go Ichi-e
2025
In April of 2025 I embarked on my first trip alone to my first ever residency. Uncertain and a little anxious, I pushed myself to take it all in and to experiment with doing everything out of my comfort zone. From my breakfast options, the way I transported, the places I went to alone, the way I dressed, and the way I went about creation, all of it was opposite to what I was used to. I loved it. The liberation that came with doing everything I wouldn’t usually do also came with an invigorating thrill.To listen to the track,  click here

Full Circle
2023I’ve always resonated with fictional characters in books and film, but no one quite like Therese Belivet from Patricia Highsmith’s The Price of Salt. Having read it in my early twenties, I couldn’t help but relate to a character my age who found herself swept up in a world she couldn’t understand and felt completely helpless through it all. This particular piece captures the moment she reads Carol’s letter (voiced by Cate Blanchett).9To listen to the track,  click here


Spatial Studies
2017
In response to my architecture capstone project, I had created pieces to further express the feeling experienced through different sections of an ever-changing and growing space. The pieces included recordings of conversations, spatial ambience, specific organic movements, and self reflections. I never finished my graduation project, in fact, I’m not sure how I graduated as an architect in the first place. But again, I don’t think I was ever meant for anything other than what I do today.

 1.Personal DesertA look into the idea of sacred spaces, those built, and those we carry with us. Sounds include a recorded lecture on sacred architecture given by Hosam Jiroudi and comments by Dr. Hanaa Motasim.
2.The Process of FallingTo fall out of bed, to fall out of place, to fall in love, to fall into the depth of the human condition. Sounds include a recording of my younger sister, Basma.
3.PhotographA personal documentation of dying.
Sounds include snippets from the conversation between Theodore and Samantha8 and recordings of personal conversations. 4.The Space In BetweenThe sound of a collapsing building, the end of a story, absolute rage.5.Infinite SpaceA final goodbye in words poorly put together



9.The Price of Salt by Patricia Highsmith was adapted by director Todd Haynes. This piece is not an officially released piece.
