Soundscapes, LAND’s programming series dedicated to experimental music and sound-based practices, continues on Saturday, June 15 with a performance by multidisciplinary artist Maral curated for LAND by Paulina Lara.

Maral’s sonic palette incorporates a collage of Iranian Classical & Folk samples and explores genres of experimental electronic production such as noise, punk/post-punk, and dub.

As part of Maral’s practice she mixes traditional and folk music and reimagines new spaces for these ancient melodies & sounds to live & grow. Creating a new future for them as well as continuing the tradition of passing down these melodies. She imagines how they would sound like in a punk, dub, or electronic band and lets the samples lead the way. She is jamming with her ancestors.

Rubén Esparza’s Untitled (flag) series challenges the symbolic meaning of the American flag and questions the sociopolitical history that has made it recognizable globally. A symbol of the American dream for some, and capitalist imperialism for others, the history of the American flag is fraught and complicated.
