Sarah Persico’s album ‘Sphaîra’ (Subtext Records, 2025) is a hauntingly evocative album that echolocates the abandoned concrete theatre in Tripoli, Lebanon, bearing the same name. Half-built by Brazilian architect Oscar Nieymayers as a place of social and political integration, the shell was abandoned, and used by the Syrian Army as a barracks during Lebanon’s civil war. Forged with firsthand field recordings, Persico’s album situates the listener as a fly-on-the-wall of the history of the building, and of the ghostly echoes of the bricks themselves. Joined by visual artist and light smelter Mika Oki for the audiovisual premiere at Atonal, the pair weave a mesmeric visualisation of ‘Sphaîra’ the album and the realworld site with fractal and abstract imagery.
Collaborative in all its iterations, the album ‘So Afraid to Show I Care’ was released by Danse Noir in 2025, cropped from a curation of live performances at CTM and PAF by Theo Alexander, Qow. An intimate, emotionally transparent dialog between two musicians speaking in clear voices broken with honesty, melancholic modern-classical surges tangle with febrile wisps of digital tendrils. The performance at Archa+ will see the album’s guest artists — otteswed & Klára Pudláková — performing together in Prague for a special, one-time show in the Czech capital.
