Syrian-Palestinian-Jordanian-Lebanese, b. Walsrode, Germany.
Brooklyn-based composer and producer Faten Kanaan explores cyclical patterns in her music, using harmony and counterpoint as narrative tools. Sound & silence become intuitive gestures that tell a wordless story.
Inspired by cinematic forms and mythological/folkloric story structures: from sweeping landscapes and quiet romances, to patterned tensions and dream sequences; she focuses on bringing an earthy, visceral touch to electronic music. In symbiosis with technology is an appreciation for the vulnerability of human limitations and nuances.
Recently signing to Fire Records, Faten Kanaan’s follow up to 2018’s ‘Foxes’ is her fourth album ‘A Mythology of Circles’ , which explores the mythologies behind cyclical repetitions in nature and time.
