Long Wave: Veil upon Veil
12.10.21

Suspending time and immersing the listener in widescreen sound. A sonic mission from Mike Harding and Bana Haffar.
“The Heavens are like a cupola upside down, without stability, at once moving and unmoving. One is lost in contemplation of such a mystery – it is veil upon veil; one is like a figure painted on a wall, and one can only bite the back of one’s hand.” The Conference of the Birds, A Sufi Fable by Farid ud-Din Attar
