A performance of contemporary Arabic and electronic music with 16mm film projections at Chalk venue in Brighton.
On Sunday, 10 May, Chalk is hosting a performance by Jerusalem In My Heart and Lucrecia Dalt. If you've been following the local scene in Brighton for a while, you'll know the venue at 13 Pool Valley usually has a varied lineup, but this specific evening leans into the more experimental side of contemporary music. Jerusalem In My Heart, the project led by Radwan Ghazi Moumneh, brings a mix of modern Arabic sounds and electronic textures. He is joined by Lucrecia Dalt, a Colombian artist whose background in civil engineering often informs the structured yet fluid way she approaches sound. The two have worked together before, notably on the track 'Tanto' from the 2021 album Qalaq, so there is a clear creative history between them.

The performance isn't just about the audio; it incorporates a heavy visual component through the use of 16mm film projections and specific lighting setups. Moumneh uses these analogue projections to create a certain atmosphere that interacts with the music in real-time. It is a setup that focuses on the relationship between the performers and the audience, using the physical space of the venue to frame the sound. Dalt’s contribution adds another layer to this, bringing her own experimental techniques that have been developed through her work in various global art circles. It is a chance to see how these two distinct styles—one rooted in Middle Eastern traditions and the other in avant-garde electronics—mesh in a live setting.
For those planning to head down, the doors open at 19:00. It is an 18+ event, which is worth keeping in mind if you are organising a group. Tickets are priced at ÂŁ19.80, a fairly standard rate for international touring acts coming through Brighton. Since it is happening on a Sunday night, it serves as a focused way to end the week. The venue is right in the centre at Pool Valley, making it easy to get to if you are already around town. It is a straightforward booking for anyone interested in how traditional instruments and modern synthesisers can be paired with old-school film techniques.
