From the recording Mannat
With sounds of rainfall recorded in Karachi in 2020 and the Sufi poetry of Shah Abdul Latif Bhitai from Sindh recorded in Edmonton Studios, this acousmatic composition creates a new conversation about monsoons in South Asia amidst climate change and COVID-19. As children eagerly await rain to fall chanting songs for the rain to fall, Karachi, the metropolitan centre of Pakistan, experiences one of the heaviest floods in its history.
