Rashad Becker

Organization1 listing

About: For more than three decades, the Syrian-German composer, musician and mastering engineer has worked across experimental music, clubs, film, theatre and fine art while developing an electronic language entirely his own. Becker’s compositions unfold as crowded synthetic narratives, with sounds behaving almost like characters: interacting, competing, yielding and mutating through strange, tragicomic and often uncanny forms. His 2025 album “The Incident”, his first full-length solo release in almost a decade and the inaugural release on his label Clunk, was conceived as a labyrinthine “pseudo musical” concerned with information, representation, witnessing and documentation. It follows the two “Traditional Music of Notional Species” albums for PAN and extends the historical staging of his ongoing “Based on a True Story” series.
