Faten Kanaan, born in Walsrode, Germany in 1979, is a Syrian, Palestinian, Jordanian, Lebanese composer, musician and producer. She uses counterpoint as a narrative tool to create music that is mysterious, smudgy, and deeply melodic. From using repetitive structures of modern minimalism and baroque influences to more languid textural ebbs and tides, her music creates a warmth and timeless feel. Her music has often been described as “strange,” mostly because it creates its own world that isn't easily categorized.
