Description

Fatima Al Qadiri returns to Hyperdub, with a suite inspired by the classical poems of Arab women. 

Medieval Femme invokes a simulated daydream through the metaphor of an Islamic garden, at the border between depression and desire, where the present temporarily dissolves, leaving only past and future.

The theme of the album is the state of melancholic longing exemplified in the poetry of Arab women from the medieval period. Fatima seeks to transport the listener to a place of reverie and desolation, to question the line between two seemingly opposite states and rejoice in celestial sorrow.

Al Qadiri looked to the past for instrumentation as well, evoking antique ouds; little percussion can be heard, and digital effects only bring subtle estrangement.
