*250 copies limited edition* The Mad Laboratory Of Anti-Matter is a free and improvised music duo based in Beirut. Created in 2022 by multi-instrumentalist Nadia Daou (NÂR) and clarinettist Paed Conca, an iconic figure on the improvised music scene.

Raw and industrial, the dark soundscape of this laboratory is an exploration of the void and everything that can be found and emanate from it: a sensory, physical, timeless experience. The trance-like quality of repetitive music is combined here with industrial noise. Intense and hypnotic rhythms, a constant search for textures and nuances, and an unconditional love for raw and total art.

‘We work a bit like architects, but with sound... We build little by little, until it becomes a big block of concrete and steel, a kind of brutalist monument. After that, we turn it into a temple...’
‘Our music is a kind of sonic brutalism.’
