What is there left to dance for in this era of devastation? How do we show solidarity in the time of dehumanisation and disinformation? What makes art political? Is it activism or propaganda? Could sound be a weapon, or just another product to sell? Is this music safe? What remains of the once dangerous countercultural force turned entertainment industry spectacle? Just listen. 

Struma+Iodine x EXILES invites you to a radical listening experience with…

SAINT ABDULLAH & EOMAC


Saint Abdullah & Eomac is a long distance, ongoing collaboration between Mohammad and Mehdi, New York-basedYork based Iranian-Canadian brothers who make up Saint Abdullah and Eomac, aka lan McDonnell, a producer based in Wicklow, Ireland. Saint Abdullah's practice is rooted in sonic storytelling, and media, blending geo-politics, religion, and social behavior. Eomac's sound draws from obscure samples and raw synthesis in an ongoing exploration of intense, visceral music for body and soul. Initially starting work together in 2019, they were mutual fans of each other's music and found that their own productions, Saint Abdullah using outboard analogue gear and Eomac in the box, complemented each other with a sense of rawness and heavy use of samples and extreme contrasts.

She is currently pursuing her masters in composition and sound engineering at the Vienna University of Music and Performing Arts. Her debut album “Urns Waiting to be Fed,” with Zabte Zote, has been lauded as “one of [2019’s] most ecstatic and fiercely original hours of music.” A second album, “Zangaar,” was released in 2020. Sharafi has worked with countless collaborators and been part of numerous co-productions in film and dance. Her work has been presented at festivals and venues the world over from Sheffield to Riga and Budapest to New York and Washington DC.
