“Atopos” is a stone sculpture meant to bring together two lands through the realm of architecture and sound. In the 9th century, the icon of the virgin Panaghia Chozoviotissa fled the Monastery of Temptation in Jericho, Pal3stine, to escape from the iconoclasts. The icon landed in Amorgos, Greece, where a monastery was built to host her. “Atopos” is an attempt to bring together the virgin’s two mountain cliffs through the realms of architecture and sound. Conceived as the prototype of a wind harp, the sculpture mimics the shape of a body in movement and is meant to produce an eerie sound meant to connect the two lands through air. “Atopos” was conceived as part of my project “L’anabase” during my residency at @wonder.cabinet in Bethlehem. As most of the project’s pieces, the sculpture was the opportunity to dive into a local craftsmanship. Made in collaboration with Akram Anastas, the process also resulted in a photography series, meant to highlight Akram and his team’s work. Deeply grateful to @wonder.cabinet , @elias.anastas , @yousefanastas and @ibrahimowais for making it happen. Special thought to @iamconstantin for the guidance and light. #sculpture #stonesculpture #landart #bethlehem #artresidency #soundinstallation #crafts

Tune in this Thursday, May 7 10am on @lyl_radio (GMT+1) 10pm on @radioalhara (GMT+2) L’anabase w/ Aho Ssan ༄ Thrilled to welcome @aho_ssan aka Niamké Désiré on this new episode of L’anabase. His work quietly haunted the last season of L’anabase before fully inhabiting it here through a selection of his own. His compositions move through layered tensions, rupture and flow, precision and collapse, building sonic landscapes that feel fragmented, visceral, and deeply immersive. There’s something in the way he works with space, silence, and low frequencies that strongly resonates with the research behind L’anabase: crossing thresholds, drifting through unstable forms, moving deeper into a kind of circular and suspended state. Thank you Niamké for the beautiful journey ✺ Image still by @brackalex filming @maria__isidora

This session is a rhythmic journey where percussion becomes raw material, breath, and architecture. Between dub pulses, deconstructed structures, and psychedelic textures, Glisten shapes a shifting space in which rhythm fragments, repeats, and transforms, gradually slipping into trance. A Greek-Spanish audiovisual artist based between Paris, Berlin and Bethlehem, she weaves soundscapes made of field recordings, voice, acoustic and invented instruments, blended with modular synthesis. Her approach moves between the intimate and the elemental, like a sonic diary carried by memory, place, and displacement. In this mix for Bodan on Noods Radio, percussion unfolds in all its forms: organic impacts, metallic rustles, digital fractures, suspended rhythms. A voyage between abstraction and physicality, where each strike opens a new territory of listening. Thanks Sofia 🌹 📸 : @heyguillaume

I am really proud of this project Among the Shadows of KARAKOZ focuses on the textual work and the photographic research behind the new album by @maimaimaikr . It collects texts and a visual path that accompanied the music from the very beginning. This project means a lot to me because it shows the process and the people involved, the moments and the places where we made it happen. The booklet is not a side project, but a necessary part of the work: a way to share the research and the atmosphere behind the album. A deeper look into what KARAKOZ is made of. “It is not my habit to add a textual apparatus to accompany the music I make. One doesn’t need guidelines to listen to a track, an album, a melody, or a song. These brief lines are not meant to guide anyone, nor to explain how to listen to it. They are simply an attempt to open a small window onto what lies behind Karakoz: where it comes from, how it has transformed, through which hands, stories, territories, roots, landscapes, and encounters it has passed before reaching your turntables. Karakoz is a tale that travels from Calabria to Palestine, from Crotone to Bethlehem, across the waves of the Mediterranean, a sea that welcomes and exchanges, kills and devours. What does it mean to cross Palestine in the midst of a genocide? It is a question I keep returning to, one for which I have no single answer.” You can find it as a booklet inside the KARAKOZ vinyl released by @mapledeathrecords in collaboration with @radioalhara and @wonder.cabinet Or read this DOC on the @nero_editions website neroeditions.com or through the link in bio Texts by @_lady_of_libya_ @elias.anastas @yousefanastas @maya_al_khaldi @recordat_ Photos by @sofialambrou @otariaz

L’anabase w/ Xenia Reaper Tune in this Thursday February 12 on @lyl_radio  at 10am (GMT+1) and at 10 pm (GMT+2) on @radioalhara  L’anabase w/ Xenia Reaper ༄ From travel log to correspondence, this season of L’anabase invites artists previously featured on the show to respond with a mix or original composition, collectively weaving a soundtrack to Mediterranean myths carried by the sea. This second episode welcomes a very special guest: Xenia Reaper (@dolphindream ). Based in Berlin, Xeni is an electronic music producer whose work moves between ambient, mutant IDM, and bass-heavy textures, creating liquid, ethereal, and tactile sound worlds. Their releases span labels such as INDEX:Records, alongside earlier EPs on their own imprint, Xenoplex. The name Xenia comes from the Greek xenos, meaning foreign or unknown, while Reaper evokes gathering and return. I first encountered Xeni’s work in 2024 with the release of Luvaphy, their debut album, a dense ocean of grains and glitch. A sea of memories unfolding in a virtual realm. Their sound is physical and transformative, felt through the spine and skin rather than the ears, speaking a cybernetic language of metallic textures. Photo Credit : @brackalex

• introspectiva channel • Glisten is a Greek–Spanish audiovisual artist based between Paris, Berlin, and Bethlehem. Her practice weaves ambient and experimental sound, voice, and field recordings drawn from long-term research across the Mediterranean. Through modular synthesis, acoustic instruments, and digital tools, she composes soundscapes connected to memory, movement, and the attentive listening of places. She hosts L’anabase on Radio alHara and LYL Radio, and in parallel develops a visual practice under the name Sofia Lambrou, exploring exile, geopolitical fractures, and the poetics of territory. She presents here an intimate and deep ambient set, in dialogue with her ongoing sonic research. "Recorded after a long course of movement and travel toward the sea, this mix unfolds like a river finding its way back to the ocean. The mix begins with pebbles, binaural textures that slowly attune the body, syncing us into the rhythm of the river. Gradually, we let ourselves be carried. Without knowing where we are going, we place our trust in the flow. As we might feel adrift in these difficult times, I felt the urge to care, to envelop, and to hold, until the river, eventually, reunites us with the sea." 💧 link in bio 📷 @zaviello

So long 2025 ༄

L’anabase w/ Bart Bell Tune in this Thursday on @lyl_radio at 10 am (GMT+1) and at 10 pm (GMT+2) on @radioalhara L’anabase w/ Bart Bell ༄ This season of L’anabase shifts from travelogue to correspondence.
After a year spent tracing myths between Greece and Palestine, the show now becomes an exchange between past and present season, between two spaces and two radios: LYL Radio in Paris and Radio alHara in Bethlehem. For this new season, I will invite artists whose work was featured during the 2025 season to respond to the episode where their music was played with a music or composition of their own. 
For this first correspondence, I’ve invited @bart__bell , French composer and sound designer whose work moves between worlds. I first met Bart at a poetry night in Paris and was struck at how our constellations seemed to echo one another. His approach to sound feels almost cartographic, drawing invisible topographies through vibration and texture. Guided by his singular handmade instrument, the metallophone, and sensitivity to space, Bart weaves a tapestry of drone, dark ambient, and electroacoustic movements that transport to many places, all at once. In his hands, sound becomes a narrative, as if composing the soundtrack of an invisible film. His compositions on the show include collaborations with B.Morel (alto), D. Giannetti (gong), Q. Biardeau (saxophone) and E. Parrenin epinette). I hope you enjoy the journey ✺ Image credits: 1,7: @brackalex and @maria__isidora (stills from our film Atopos, Topos) 2: @bart__bell 3: @wasitapril 5: @sofialambrou (at @noname_lanaturefestival )

Atopos, Topos is a diptych film shot simultaneously in Jericho, Palestine, and Amorgos, Greece, where the two dancers Aseel Qupty and Maria Isidora improvised their movements in response to their respective landscapes. Without being able to see or hear one another, they danced intuitively, guided by presence rather than perception. Their gestures seemed to echo and respond across the distance, raising questions: are they reaching for each other? Do they ever meet? Can movement transcend geography? Through this silent experiment, the film explores the porous threshold between body, landscape, and border. Behind the camera, a similar mirroring appeared between the two filming teams, working independently yet capturing the dancers in uncanny synchronicity. Part of L’anabase, a broader visual and sonic investigation into Mediterranean myths and displacement connecting Greece and Palestine, the film invites us to reflect on how dance might connect us across borders. ‘Atopos, Topos’ is screening at @wonder.cabinet in Bethlehem at 7:30 PM Wednesday 23rd July A big thank you to the incredible team that made it possible: @danadurr and @aseelqupty in Palestine with whom we danced and climbed mountains  @brackalex and @maria__isidora in Greece who simultaneously filmed and danced underwater and under-rain @wonder.cabinet , @3eenbi2eed @ibrahimowais @thomtt__ , @tatianaskaya for making it all possible through their support and production throughout the project @nowness for premiering it 🤍 Tap the link in bio to watch the full film on NOWNESS 🎥 Direction, edit, sound @sofialambrou Co-direction & capture @danadurr @brackalex Performance & choreography @aseelqupty @maria__isidora   Executive Producers @3eenbi2eed @ibrahimowais @thomtt__ Sound Mixing @bart__bell Production @wonder.cabinet
