Aegri Somnia – Jawad Nawfal

Born in Beirut in 1978, Jawad Nawfal undertook audiovisual and film studies at the IESAV Institute in Beirut and chose to specialize in sound design.

In 2001, Nawfal formed Al Tered Ear, a laboratory of sound research and composition, based on the desire to explore and link several means of computer-assisted musical writing.
MUNMA was created by Jawad Nawfal in the aftermath of Israel’s war on Lebanon in the summer of 2006. The band’s approach focuses on oriental harmonies and rhythmical patterns, with a strong reliance on sampled traditional musical beds, excerpts from radio speeches and an overall somber mood.
