Sounds from India and Pakistan | norient.com 24 Sep 2021 16:15:17 Sounds from India and Pakistan MIXTAPE by Arshia Fatima Haq Arshia Haq from the LA based Discostan collective made an exclusive mix for Norient titled «Line of Control». She is presenting us forgotten scores and current field sounds from India and Pakistan. Listen to this colorful mix and dive into the sounds of the Indian subcontinent. Making a mix from the sounds of the subcontinent proved challenging as these are the sounds I am closest to, so I tried to use that to my advantage. What I came up with is a personal audio memoir, using scores from lesser known films, children's songs, and field recordings of my own in Pakistan and India (thus the raw quality of some of what you'll hear), and playing on nostalgia, exile, the tension between the sensuality of the soundtracks and the austerity of the religious dogma over loudspeakers (both Muslim and Hindu) as well as political broadcasts in these places. → Tracklist 1.

Ahmad Zahir: «Awateen Eshqam Tu Boodi» → Published on May 28, 2014 → Last updated on August 11, 2020 Arshia Fatima Haq is Los Angeles based filmmaker, writer and DJ, and is the founder of Discostan, a collective of artists curating sound, image, and text from an imagined federation of states spanning the regions of Eastern Europe, the Middle East, South and Southeast Asia and eastward to the edge of the earth – from Beirut to Bangkok via Bombay. Narrative threads include migration, celebration, warfare, nostalgia, homeland, borders, often within realms of Islamic influence, through the lenses of timeless traditional forms, the kaleidoscopic reinventions of pop culture, and everything in between and beyond. Most simply, Discostan is a love letter to the Dis-Orient. → Topics Nostalgia Religion Soundscape Tradition All Topics → Special Countries: Pakistan https://norient.com/index.php/podcasts/line-of-control Page 2 of 2.
