Next Wednesday May 29th at 7pm, Khyam Allami will present in Hangar a new electronic maqāmic work utilizing Apotome; a free browser-based software he created in collaboration with Counterpoint Studio. Apotome is the catch-all title for a transcultural music project highlighting the cultural asymmetries, biases and non-neutrality inherent in modern sonic technologies, alongside their interconnected web of musical, educational, cultural, social and political ramifications. The performance is organized within the framework of the exhibition “The Production of Otherness: an Archaeology of Standards” (working title) curated by Maite Borjabad for the FAD (Foment de les Arts i del Disseny) / D-Hub, which proposes to decipher through artistic, creative and design practices the intricacies in the production of systems, norms, beliefs or aesthetic imaginaries and their implication in the manufacturing of otherness.
