Kawol Samarqandi - solo guitar.
Refugees - Duo of Samarqandi and Mary.
--
Kawol Samarqandi crafts non-national, “poor” music—stripped-down improvisations built only from his faltering guitar and trembling voice. In this sparse terrain of sound, silence becomes structural, and fragility becomes strength.
REFUGEES is the duo of Mary Meacha Goldfish with her partner, Kawol SamarQandi. The project became a platform for expansive, contemplative soundscapes that blend analog electronics, acoustic instrumentation, and poetic minimalism.
Mary Meacha Goldfish is a multidisciplinary musician and sound artist known for her atmospheric compositions and her philosophy of “tinnitus music,” an approach that designs organic acoustics while listening attentively to the sound of silence.
Central to Goldfish’s artistic philosophy is what she calls “tinnitus music.” Rather than treating silence as absence, she approaches it as a living field of subtle vibration. By designing organic acoustics and listening carefully to internal and environmental sound, she creates works that hover between presence and disappearance. Her compositions invite listeners to attune themselves to micro-sounds, resonances, and the fragile boundary between noise and quiet.
Through a life shaped by kitchens, harbors, choirs, ateliers, and analog synthesizers, Mary Meacha Goldfish continues to craft immersive sonic spaces— music that listens as much as it speaks.
