حوار على حافة الصمت

Sparse trio of oud, ney, and felted piano; slow rubato phrasing in Hijaz Kar Kurd. Female vocals, close-mic’d and breathy, leaning into ornamentation. Verses stay intimate over broken piano chords and soft oud drones; chorus swells with sustained ney lines and subtle octave harmonies, then falls back to almost whispered phrases for the outro.
