FONO Presents: Experience a profound melding of ritual electronics and contemporary Arabic traditions as Radwan Ghazi Moumneh (Jerusalem In My Heart) and Frédéric D. Oberland (Oiseaux-Tempête) trace sonic territories between memory and invention, devotion and abrasion.

The show features two masters of experimental music: Moumneh, the Lebanese artist and producer behind Jerusalem In My Heart , and Oberland, the French multi-instrumentalist and co-founder of the avant-rock collective Oiseaux-Tempête. Together, they utilize a diverse sonic palette—including Buchla and modular synths, alto saxophone, buzuk, and rababa—to create a space where their distinct creative impulses converge and reconfigure. This is a unique opportunity for ticket buyers to witness two artists who have spent two decades opening pathways beyond inherited forms and exploring the intersections of avant-rock and free improvisation.

DND (Dance. Network. Disconnect.) is a social dance experience built around music, movement and connection.

Inspired by Afro House, Amapiano and rhythm-driven sounds, DND brings together young professionals, creatives, students, immigrants and music lovers for an evening of conversation, games, dancing and shared experiences.

Helena Deland (Montreal, QC)
Bandcamp

Helena Deland is a Montreal-based musician interested in how songs can hold what eludes everyday language. Her music draws on reading and walking around.

She released her first album, Someone New, in 2020 on Luminelle Recordings. It was followed by the release of Hildegard, a collaborative album with fellow Montreal musician Ouri on section1. On October 13th, 2023, Helena reveals her sophomore full-length record, Goodnight Summerland, an intimate and meditative collection of eleven songs published by label and longtime collaborators Chivi Chivi. Goodnight Summerland features singles “Swimmer”, “Spring Bug”, “Bright Green Vibrant Gray” and “Strawberry Moon”.

She has extensively toured North America and Europe opening for the likes of Weyes Blood, Andy Shauf, Connan Mockasin, Soccer Mommy and Iggy Pop.

Hana Stretton (Melbourne, Australia)
Bandcamp

Hana Stretton is a British/Australian composer, singer and producer known for her remarkably warm production style and uniquely spacious songform. In 2023, her debut album, Soon, earned a beloved status among discerning listeners around the globe. This stunning work caught the ear of one Phil Elverum, who lovingly reissued Soon through his own label in 2024, furthering the album’s reach and deepening its reputation. In the press, Elverum said: “I hear an artist who has entered completely into the stream where creation originates […] Hana Stretton has truly recorded the deep flourishing sound of a quiet listening mind in full blossom.” A fitting testament to a young artist rooted in the stillness of nature.

Marc McLaughlin is a singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist from Canada’s East Coast, writing hushed, emotionally direct songs that fall somewhere between lo-fi folk and left-field pop. Carried by a soft voice at unhurried tempos, McLaughlin’s work blurs the line between acoustic confession and electronic experimentation.

Since the 2025 release of his EP All I Can Say, he has toured across Canada, the UK, and Europe and shared stages with artists such as Dan Mangan, Kelly McMichael, and By Divine Right. His live performances balance a dry wit with tender explorations of the human condition.
