Jerusalem in My Heart

About Jerusalem in My Heart

Jerusalem in My Heart is an audio-visual performance project from Montreal-based producer, engineer, and musician Radwan Ghazi Moumneh and Montreal-based filmmaker Erin Weisgerber. Together they create an immersive sonic and visual live experience, wedding modern Arabic and electronic music with organically created visuals using 16mm analog film. Their recordings, beginning with 2013's Mo7it Al-Mo7it, showcase Moumneh melding traditional Arabic singing and bouzouki with modular synths, ambience, effects, and field recordings. JIMH issued If He Dies, If If If If If If in 2015, adding more influence from the historic Lebanese folk tradition to their 21st century mix. 2018's Daqa'iq Tudaiq proved their most musical outing to date. Its first half was comprised of a revisioned cover of the multi-part suite "Wa Ta'atalat Loughat Al Kalam." 2021's Qalaq was a thoroughly collaborative affair that featured Greg Fox, Lucrecia Dalt, Moor Mother, and Tim Hecker, among others.
