Oriental Techno x Seba Kayan with Khayam Allami

In this episode I have Khayam Allami, wo is an Iraqi-British multi-instrumentalist, musician, composer, researcher, and founder of Nawa recording. He is an artistic researcher focused on development of contemporary and experimental practices based on the fundamentals of Arabic music with the focus on Tuning and Microtonality and has build two tools, Apotome and Leima to tackle cultural biases in the field of electronic music. Digital tools for music production are often perceived as the land of opportunity. Technology is shrouded in a narrative of democratization, progress, and artistic freedom. But there are several sides to that story. In this show we talk about this issue of the cultural asymmetry and the biases that are in the technologies we are using.
