Saru L'Qamar

From the 60's until the modern era, it was common for Maltese families to receive reel tapes from relatives abroad. Maltese emigrés resettled in Australia, the UK, Canada etc. would record their news onto cassette - often in the form of ghana, traditional Maltese song - and mail the tapes back home. Amazingly, through the superlative archival work of Malta's nonprofit heritage foundation Magna Zmien, many of these tapes still exist. A Lily (Phantom Limb boss and musician James Vella, who is Maltese) was allowed access to Magna Zmien's collection and in late 2022 began creating new musical works responding to these recordings. These works make up the oneiric bliss 'Saru l-Qamar' [Eng: They Became The Moon], his first release on his own label.
