Biography
NÂR is a Lebanese multi-instrumentalist, composer, and performer based in Beirut. Constantly in metamorphosis, she crafts raw, immersive experiences using analog gear, voice, and found objects. Abrasive and hypnotic, her performances are live experiments constructed from scratch—anchored in repetition and trance.
Her sound draws from a vast spectrum of influences: Middle Eastern microtonality, North African trance traditions, industrial music, and avant-garde electronic forms. In 2021, NÂR created a custom instrument from repurposed clocks and bells, which injected even more grit and physicality into her sonic rituals.
She describes her practice as: "A succession of sacred mistakes and a cult to the unknown."
