Saint Abdullah & Eomac is a long-distance musical collaboration between Iranian-Canadian brothers Mohammad and Mehdi (based in New York) and Ian McDonnell (Eomac, based in Ireland). Initiated in 2019, this project merges the brothers’ use of analogue gear with Eomac’s digital production, blending raw sampling, geopolitics, and sound synthesis. Their main goal is to explore the revolutionary possibilities of sound and foster cultural dialogue through sonic storytelling.
This artistic alliance has resulted in multiple record releases on labels such as Nicolas Jaar’s Other People, Planet Mu, and Drowned by Locals. In addition to their studio productions, the collective has taken their proposal into the live arena, performing at festivals like Nuits Sonores and Tehran Contemporary Sounds. Furthermore, they have achieved critical acclaim for their collaborative audiovisual piece ‘A Forbidden Distance’, presented at prestigious events including Berlin Atonal and Unsound.
