The exhibition has been extended until May 9th.
Joseph Dadounes sound work, Universes, sets out to form an alternative musical space attesting to his rejection of the crude classification of various musical styles. Dadoune incorporating in his work excerpts of classical music and polyphonic Mediterranean singing. He frequently employs vinyl records, moving the record slowly to distort the sound and generate an archaic, blurred, deep sound. Dadounes work may be construed as representing a political stand, as it reflects a quasi-Western setting, albeit Universes is not necessarily such. Despite its elusive title, the work does not really fall into the category of world music.
