Biaban "Oil & Dust" - 2023 Cedar Commissions
Despite its ubiquity and domination in the American way of life, oil in its material form goes largely unrendered in public consciousness. If we cannot see petrol as it is contained to our tanks and pipelines, “Oil & Dust” will soundtrack the petropolitical spell to which we are bound: a death knell for a viral planetary resource curse.
Collaborators: Aida Shahghasemi - vocals
