Raed Yassin

Raed Yassin (born in Beirut in 1979) is a Lebanese artist and musician working across sound, video, installation, photography, sculpture and performance. His double-bass practice uses preparations, objects and an extended acoustic vocabulary to explore texture, energy, vibration and sound density rather than conventional melodic forms.

Yassin has been involved in Beirut's experimental-music community and in the Irtijal festival since its early years. He is a member of the groups A Trio and PRAED, and founded the independent Annihaya music label in 2009. His electronic and turntable work recontextualises popular music and archival recordings, connecting the language of improvised sound with questions of culture, memory and mass media.
