Jerusalem
In My Heart(JIMH)
Is a live audio-visual performance project with:
Lebanese producer and musician
Radwan Ghazi Moumneh,
and Montréal based filmmaker
Erin Weisgerber.
JIMH is an immersive sonic and visual live experience, with an evolving effort to forge a modern experimental Arabic music wed to hand-made visuals using analog 16mm film at site-specific screen installations. Musically, JIMH is guided by Moumneh’s melding of ‘traditional’ melismatic singing (in Arabic) and buzuk playing, with modern deployments of modular synthesis, filter banks, electronics, field recordings, etc. Weisgerber manipulates the photographic, chemical, and material properties of 16mm film to transform the world framed through her camera; rendering rhythmic images that exist between figuration and abstraction, external vision and internal landscape.
JIMH has released four studio albums:
Mo7it Al-Mo7it
Constellation Records2013
If He Dies, If If If If If If
Constellation Records2015
Daqa'iq Tudaiq
Constellation Records2018
and a self-titled album with Suuns
