Wind, Again is an intoxicating album of deep complexity and nuance. Based between France and Lebanon, the architect of this work, Sary Moussa, has created an interplay between the micro and macro within complicated landscapes. With both Western and West Asian instruments and deftly hewn, jagged electronics, he oscillates between collective experience and the deeply personal. This album is an exploration of how we occupy the real and unreal nature of place individually and collectively. It is about the stories we choose to tell. It creates ecologies that reject ego-driven narratives of a lone composer calling all the shots. Wind, Again feels, to me, like crucial listening. The album flings a door wide open inviting radical change, disruption and abstract beauty.
