Berlin-based Pan Daijing’s techno-inflected series of bleak signals ricochet off the walls. By creating a sound that appeals to the intensity of being helpless and afraid, she drags you into a dark cave of what she calls therapeutic abrasion. ‘It’s not so much ‘music,’ but ‘sound.’ Sound has always been the thing I’ve been the most interested in. When I was growing up, I realized it was very special to me. I feel that vibration in sound – those big, deep vibrations – gives me a kind of climax that nothing else in my daily life can push me towards. When I saw that I could combine these sounds to make something like ‘music,’ I realized that I have to let them lead my life.’ Nadia Tehran undercuts Iranian stereotypes while actively touching on the various shades of issues of her mother country.
