Encrypted pianos and half-forgotten archives

Jennifer Lucy Allan is our guide through the outer thickets of adventurous listening, uncovering a half-forgotten archive of music from Japan’s cult label DD. Records and Singaporean sound artist Bani Haykal’s abandoned pianos, which have since been retrofitted to send encrypted messages. Plus, Mongolian singer Enji reflects on the in-betweenness of migration, while Lebanese artist Nour Sokhon and Montreal-based media-maker Stefan Christoff collaborate on a sonic exploration of identity and displacement.
