Jerusalem In My Heart (JIMH) is a live audio-visual performance project,with Lebanese producer and musician Radwan Ghazi Moumneh and Montréal based filmmaker Erin Weisgerber at it’s core.

JIMH is an immersive sonic and visual live experience, with an evolving effort to forge a modern experimental Arabic music wed to hand-made visuals using analog 16mm film at site-specific screen installations.

Weisgerber manipulates the photographic, chemical, and material properties of 16mm film to transform the world framed through her camera; rendering rhythmic images that exist between figuration and abstraction, external vision and internal landscape. She performs 16mm film and audio loops live on multiple projectors.

Hiro Kone is the project of Nicky Mao, a New York based musician and producer; she uses a
combination of hardware, synths, and modular to cultivate her sound - a visceral meditation on
rhythm, noise, and melody that has seen her release on leading experimental labels including
DAIS Records and BANK Records. No stranger to manipulating macabre disorientations into
enchanting new shapes, her music exposes the unsettling and sublime. Taking a deconstructive
approach she is known to draw upon a combination of modular synthesis, noise and field
recordings.
Instinctively responding to the precariousness of humanity, Kone’s cascades of twisted field
recordings find an inherent partner in the effervescent current of synthesis and, in the process,
forge new terrains.
Her most recent full length release, ‘Silvercoat the throng’ was described by Resident Advisor’s
Dash Lewis, as “Beautiful and harrowing, falling apart and building anew.” The album captures
Hiro Kone at the peak of their powers, alchemizing disruption and decomposition into
regenerative interior worlds: “Within the darkness and absence is an opportunity for discovery.”
The album includes collaborations with Palestinian electronic artist Muqata’a, writer and theorist
DeForrest Brown, Jr.’s ‘Speaker Music’ and travis from the legendary Chicago band ‘Ono’.
She has performed an array of shows in Europe and participated in artist residences at Pioneer
Works in New York and the prestigious EMS studios in Stockholm. She has made appearances
at the Red Bull Music Festival in Melbourne, playing live and appearing in conversation, as well
as been a fixture at cutting-edge electronic events including Sustain-Release, Norbergsfestival,
LEV Festival and MoMA PS1. Her live performances, such as at 2018 edition of Berlin’s Atonal
Festival, have won enthusiastic plaudits from Resident Advisor, who selected it as one of the top
five performances of the event, owing to a blend of “pulsating industrial rhythms to quiet bouts of
ambience... the message comes across in the music's sense of purpose.”
