Exploration of the Sound Space, with Azu Tiwaline & Cinna Peyghamy

In their collaborative DJ set, Azu Tiwaline and Cinna Peyghamy create a polyrhythmic and hypnotic soundscape, drawing on their shared interest in trance-inducing rhythms and textural experimentation. This performance interact with Tarek Atoui’s exhibition At-Tāriq by blending their deep sonic language with the installation’s ambient sounds, offering an immersive experience that bridges individual practice and collective resonance. 

Activity carried out in collaboration with MondoSonoro. 

Azu Tiwaline is an artist creating new worlds for us all to hear and see each other within. Conjuring a sense of cosmic belonging within life’s maelstrom, her music is an extension of her being transformed into abundant rhythmical energy - beloved for her wonderful ability to channel vast inner realms into the outward joys of dance & movement. With an extraordinary musical vision firmly rooted in the freeing kinetics of soundsystem psychedelia, her vibrations bring vivid influence from the El Djerid desert & her Tunisian heritage into communication with the transcendent spatial awareness of dub and the grooving, dynamic exuberance of techno. 

Tiwaline’s hybrid live/DJ sets have been staged in esteemed festivals like Dimensions, Freerotation, Unsound, Boom, Modem, etc, and clubs like Berghain, Tresor, Fabric London..., as well as contributing podcasts to venerated mix series Dekmantel, Illian Tape, Resident Advisor or Crack Magazine. At its core, her music celebrates the beauty of nature & the potential to see understanding & connection in all aspects of life - transmuting the mystique & possibilities inherent to our existence, always urging us to find knowledge & insight within ourselves & the world around us. 

Cinna Peyghamy is a composer and sound artist, who started exploring the relationship between the Persian goblet drum and modular synths, and quickly realized how much his new hybrid setup mirrored his identity. As the French-born son of Iranian immigrants who speaks Farsi with his parents but has never visited the country, the composer and sound artist found himself asking what to do with the ‘weight of this culture which is mine and not mine at the same time’. Peyghamy’s mastery of the tombak provides a rhythmic foundation that resonates with cultural depth, while the modular synthesizer adds an ethereal, futuristic layer, creating a harmonious blend that defies genre boundaries.
