Description
Dirar Kalash is an improvising musician currently based in his native Ramallah, in the state of Palestine. Opportunities to perform are virtually non-existent. Even access to a proper instrument is impossible at the current time. On a rare visit to the UK early in 2020, we are fortunate that Dirar found an opportunity to record with the master sound engineer Simon Reynell, on a fine piano in the beautiful acoustic of St Paul's Hall at the University Of Huddersfield.
The plan had been to record some compositions. However, Dirar's instinct, on encountering a first-class instrument after so long an enforced break, was to improvise instead. These recordings are the result.
