uah

London

Composer and multi-instrumentalist ‘uah’ (aka Usman Haque) creates spectacular interactive events and massive audio-visual experiences that have opened the Singapore Biennale, the Dubai World Cup and Toronto’s Nuit Blanche. Trained as an architect, his multi-channel sonic work builds on infrasound, electromagnetic spherics, the harmonic possibilities of shepard tones and neural-net driven ultrasonics. His work often engages members of the public using their own voices to drive collective experiences. As an experimental electronic musician, he performs with synths and a range of instruments, as well as his own voice, composing dramatic and cinematic music influenced in part by the improvisational narratives of ghazals and early prog rock.
