Carl Gari & Abdullah Miniawy - when electro meets poetry and tastes freedom

An amazing interview in the Quietus with Egyptian poet Abdullah Miniawy and German electronic band Carl Gari about their collaborative album 'The Act Of Falling From The 8th Floor', about personal fear and struggle to reach freedom. Miniawy had to leave Kairo, settling in France and the group now operates between Paris and Munich, recording in a remote house in Neunburg vorm Wald, a town nestled in the Bavarian forest. When they started, Carl Gari played minimalistic techno instrumentals, when Miniawy joined them they grew increasingly abstract, skirting the edges of deconstructed club sounds and into sections of pure ambience to prop up Miniawy’s dramatic readings. Amazing stuff...
