Dirar Kalash's ever evolving IMPROVESISTANCE Ensemble emerges from urgency and solidarity. It demands, in sound and music, nothing less than what Palestine demands: the breaking of the siege, an end to starvation, and the pursuit of total freedom and justice.

The ensemble centres electro-acoustic processing of sounds from Palestine - expanded instrumentally and electronically - forging a sonic force that does more than express or protest. It persists, resists, and amplifies in real time. This is not metaphorical. This is sound as a direct act of solidarity, disruption, and insistence.

Dirar Kalash's work spans a wide range of musical and sonic practices within a variety of instrumental, compositional and improvisational contexts. He is mostly known for his politically driven soundscape / electro-acoustic project "The Sonic Front", and the compositions "we can't breathe (for eric garner, george floyd, and frantz fanon)" and "by any means necessary (for Malcolm X)".
