Funeral To The Moon

Digital · XJM23008 · 25:49

On "Funeral To The Moon" (2023, XJAZZ! Music), Syrian-born, Berlin-based trumpeter, producer and composer Milad Khawam pushes his unconventional approach to the instrument further still. The EP was created during a month-long retreat in a forest and fuses trumpet, piano and electronic beats into an experimental, electronic jazz in which each note traces the fleeting moments of life. Its six pieces, "Dyspnea," "Stress," "Resist," "Titan," the soberly titled "AUD-20140116-011" and the closing "Luna and the Forest," move between electro-acoustic texture and the folk-oriental character that has marked Khawam's playing since his debut "To The West." "Resist" was released with its own video. Drawing on his own story of migration and life, Khawam crafts a concentrated, atmospheric work poised between mourning, resistance and nocturnal stillness.

Milad Khawam

A Damascus-born, Berlin-based trumpeter, duduk player and composer whose electro-acoustic EP Funeral to the Moon and album To the West chart his journey from East to West.

Milad Khawam is a trumpet and duduk player and composer. Hailing from Damascus, where he studied classical and Arabic music, he is now based in Berlin, where he also produces electronic music and can often be found performing solo; he was a participant at CTM Festival 2020. His EP "Funeral to the Moon" is a musical journey through his personal experiences and emotions, seamlessly combining trumpet, piano and electronic beats into a blend of electro-acoustic sounds. Inspired by the enigmatic beauty of the moon and time spent alone in a forest, the music captures the essence of sensory memories and the beauty of life's fleeting moments in a deeply emotive, nuanced and evocative landscape. His earlier album "To the West," which he began composing in late 2015 during his journey from Syria to Germany, documents the thoughts and psychological states he experienced on the road between East and West, rendered as contemporary music with a folk-oriental character and performed by Syrian, Palestinian and German musicians in Berlin.
