Marmoucha Orchestra presents Wahj, a new live performance based on the new album by project leader Toni Geitani. For this show, Geitani and members of Marmoucha Orchestra develop new arrangements that reimagine the album for a compact, flexible ensemble of six musicians.
Sung in classical Arabic (fuṣḥā) and rooted in maqām traditions, Wahj moves between experimental electronics, ambient soundscapes, and contemporary Arabic musical worlds. In its live form, Marmoucha Orchestra expands these materials into a captivating audiovisual Arab-futurist performance that is both intimate and immersive, in which instrumentation, electronics, and motion-responsive light effects continuously interact.
