Medieval Femme

by Fatima Al Qadiri

The critically acclaimed electronic producer heavily utilized classical Arab poetry composed by women between the 7th and 13th centuries as the conceptual basis for this haunting ambient record. By pairing incredibly delicate, traditional lute melodies with sparse, cavernous synthesizer drones, she constructs an atmosphere of deep melancholy and spiritual longing. It was highly lauded for bridging ancient Islamic literary history with pristine modern electronic ambiance.
