Ziyad Habib’s interest in music originated from watching his neighbors’ elatedly playing guitar, before a fruitful spell at audio technology college set him off down his own path. As a fan he quickly found his favorites, a diverse array spanning from Four Tet and Burial to Lloyd Miller and Mulatu Astatke. Under the guise of noahs heark he crafts techno-slanted ambient soundscapes – which veer from the loose and glitchy to the probing and layered – while retaining a keen sense of fun and experimentation. Part of the Hear Now collective, he’s recently been investing his time into mixing and mastering HN releases, mentoring artists, and fine-tuning his live set.
