Since 2010, audiovisual artist and curator Firas El Hallak has been organising and filming experimental sessions in the unfinished Dome of the Rachid Karami International Fair in Tripoli, Lebanon.

Jad Atoui is a Beirut-based sound artist and improviser. His focus on electronic and electroacoustic music is shaped by his experiences in New York’s avant garde scene, where he acquired improvisational techniques while working at The Stone and the Guggenheim Museum. At Gaudeamus Festival, he presents his most recent solo work It Will Take Forever, a live performance built around modular synthesis. The work moves between power electronics, dense resonances, and bursts of noise, unfolding through slowly evolving sonic structures.
