2. Saba Alizadeh presents: Temple Of Hope
Iranian composer Saba Alizadeh's third album, Temple of Hope, reflects on the resilience and struggles of his homeland, drawing inspiration from the "Woman, Life, Freedom" movement and years of societal challenges. Through a blend of traditional instruments like the Kamanche, modular synthesizers, and no-input mixers, Alizadeh creates electro-acoustic compositions that explore themes of suffering, resistance, and hope. Distorted and fragmented elements mirror the upheavals and transformations central to the work, creating a soundscape that confronts and questions the boundaries of expression. More info.

Restaurant Suggestion:
🍜 Meet Noodles - Chinese Restaurant (⭐4/5)
I remember the first time I got into hand-pulled noodles—it was back in 2015 when I was living in Shanghai. There was a place (not sure if you could really call it a restaurant just because they served food) where they made fresh hand-pulled noodles (the thin type, not the thick ones you often see in Berlin) for just €1.50. It was our go-to spot for lunch! Anyway, now Berlin is full of hand-pulled noodle restaurants, and here’s one of them that was decent. It’s run by the owners, who were nice and friendly.
