To The West

Digital · XJM20002 · 37:06

Milad Khawam began composing his album „To the West“ in late 2015 — during his journey from Syria to Germany. The music speaks of the thoughts and psychological states that struck him on the road between East and West, and which became the very source of the album's musical idea. Khawam set out to document these experiences as a musical form in a way that is at once positive and ironic, as they mean to him personally and could mean to the many people who crossed that same path then and to the present day. The result is contemporary music with a folk-oriental character carried by the trumpet, shaped under the influence of several European cultures. The album was performed in Berlin by Syrian, Palestinian and German musicians. Born in Damascus and now based in Berlin, Khawam is a trumpet and duduk player, composer and producer of electronic music.

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.
