Salim(a) Javaid @salim-a.bsky.social · 16/08/2026I’ve had time to visit my family in Prague for the first time in a looong while — so happy I did, I missed rakvičky more than I thought. Last picture is proof of my Bohemian blood. 010

Salim(a) Javaid @salim-a.bsky.social · 09/08/2026I'm quite fond of this recording we did with Duo Galeano/Javaid, premiering "Pfad(e) I-VII" by Sam Hayden. Absolutely adore this piece with its tonal language and the soundscapes it unfolds. Highly recommend headphones while listening to enjoy the reverb of St. Peter Köln! youtu.be/ODM3gar6eMwyoutu.beDuo Galeano/Javaid | Sam Hayden – Pfad(e) (2023-24)YouTube video by Salim Javaid 041
