Looks after the musicians, and the hundred things a night needs before it starts.

In their own words

Thepartoftheworkthathappensbeforeanybodysings

Faiza works with Arslan, Sana, Ali and Ehsan on the side of this that nobody photographs. Production, the musicians, how a live night actually gets arranged, and the agreements underneath it.

It is the part that happens before the first note and carries on after the last one. Making sure the people involved in a project have what they need, and that the arrangements behind a concert are settled rather than assumed.

How the group works is mostly a matter of people talking to each other, so she puts a lot into that: sharing what she is thinking, listening to what everybody else is, and backing them while the thing gets made.

Her being here is the argument the group makes out loud about itself. The voices on a song are not the only people who made it.

Based in Melbourne, Australia

The letter

We only write when there is a song

No weekly round up and nothing to scroll past. When something is finished it goes out once, with the story behind it, and that is the whole arrangement.

One email per song. Leaving is one click and we do not ask why.
