BANI HAYKAL
Bani Haykal experiments with text + music.
His work stretches across various disciplines including installation, poetry and theatre, investigating cultural and socio-political climates coupled with perceptional and behavioural affects. As a soloist, he works primarily with acoustic instruments, both traditional and/or hacked, and his studies revolve around narratives, structured improvisation and spoken word. He is also a member of b-quartet amongst other musical outfits.
An Associate Artist with The Substation, Haykal has collaborated, exhibited, performed and toured internationally, as an artist and a musician, participating in festivals including Media/Art Kitchen (Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines and Japan), da:ns Festival and The M1 Fringe Festival (Singapore) among others.
