"To listen to the music of Jerusalem In My Heart, the name under which Radwan Ghazi Moumneh records, is to experience a lurching, sonic dislocation. The effect is as peculiar as it is exhilarating... A complex, yet lush, accumulation of language and sonic textures designed to transcend the limits of language and communicate at a level that is direct and unhindered. But beneath the carapace of swooping chromatics and yearning voices are scratchy textures and a sense of peril...'Daqa’iq Tudaiq' is perhaps a revelation of sorrow that goes beyond all language – with JIMH providing an articulate, angry and poetic voice for the mess we’re in.”

"Experiencing Jerusalem In My Heart live is to step into a world in which contexts and meanings seem to be inherently understood and communicated, circumventing linguistic and cultural barriers. There’s no clapping between songs, there’s no commotion usually attached with gigs of hyped artists. Connected by an unspoken, mutually inferred pact, an intangible electricity lingers between the audience, the artists, and their living, breathing play.

A few minutes into the first song of the evening, Radwan Ghazi Moumneh slowly rises from his chair in the middle of the stage, surrounded by electronic effects and instruments and illuminated solely by the glimmer of hamsa symbols that radiate from four 16 mm film projectors manned by Charles-André Coderre. His hands are raised, and he delivers repetitive, hypnotic lines with an almost palpable rage and pain at unnamed tyrants. While Moumneh’s mournful voice continues to pulse through the air, there’s only the whir of projectors to support him. It’s at this point that the packed audience surrender to Jerusalem In My Heart’s embrace.

War, torment, inner fears and self-reflection alternate with intimate, almost optimistic fragments, creating a challenging fusion and a disturbing vista of our present troubled times. Lebanon born producer, singer and buzuk player Moumneh has lived between Beirut and Montréal for most of his life, but his music, while rooted in Arabic forms, eschews geographical categorisation. Instead, he uses diverse traditions to channel thoughts and subvert the form of ideas, concepts and messages. The melismatic singing, the influences of electronic, drone and noise music are all meshed and used loosely in the composition of fractured songs. Their structures are held together by the repeating cycles of haunting images of Canadian visual artist Coderre.

As the show ends, the projectors turn off, the distorted electronic sounds die out, and Moumneh’s unamplified voice continues echoing and reverberating. I can’t help but relate to feelings of elation and complete immersion that Moumneh himself described when writing in The Wire 379 about his epiphanic experience during an Abdel Karim Shaar concert. Like his, this was a journey that transcended ephemerality to become part of us."
