HERE HISTORY BEGAN | Jessica Ekomane: WORLDS WITHIN WORLDS

Jessica Ekomane's sound piece Worlds Within Worlds appeared in the exhibition HERE HISTORY BEGAN: Tracing the Re/Verberations of Halim El-Dabh, through which we experience the resulting data of a paper, ‘Finding the Probability of Doors Being Open Using a Continuous Position Logger’ - noting rhythms and sine wave frequencies shifting in real-time. And the composition "Music Enriched by Traditions from the Depth of Time" in which Ekomane navigates between the lines of Halim El-Dabh’s work, one can perceive his continuous interest for questions of class, labour and collectivity. Taking the pentatonic scale of the Baka people in Cameroon as well as elements of algorithmic composition as a starting point, Music Enriched by Traditions from the Depth of Time is a study on both randomness and non-equal temperament.

The sound and musical works are interwoven with a conversation with Kamila Metwaly.
