LITA:
My name is Lita, and I am a DJ, audio-visual artist, designer, creative technologist, alchemist, and scholar.

Rooted in experimentation and care, my practice bridges electronic music, visual storytelling, and open-source technology. As a constantly evolving artist, I explore how sound, design, and code can be used as tools for resistance, accessibility, and reimagining liberation. My work includes building socially and politically conscious instruments, crafting immersive performances, and designing experiences that center marginalized narratives.

I move through a rhythm of learning, unlearning, and dreaming — committed to expanding what’s possible across disciplines and beyond borders. Whether through analog circuitry, generative visuals, or hand-coded instruments, I’m always searching for new ways to tell stories that hold memory and spark collective imagination.

OMAR AHMAD:
Omar Ahmad is a Palestinian-American composer, producer, DJ and sound artist. He is a self-taught multi-instrumentalist whose desire to derive the essential elements of sound has grown towards found-sound immersions, globally-influenced musical storytelling, and lush atmospheric compositions. He has been a stalwart member of the underground Brooklyn electronic scene for many years and has been a guest performer with Radio Alhara, The Lot Radio, Karachi Community Radio, and more.

His debut solo record, Inheritance was released in 2023 by AKP Recordings to a wide spectrum of praise, including Electronic Sound, Bandcamp’s Best Ambient Music, and DJ Mag’s “Eight Emerging Artists You Need to Hear.” A full remix album entitled Inheritance • Remixed was released in 2024 with contributions from Tammy Lakkis, Sam O.B., Otodojo, and more. Ahmad has not rested in his support of sonic resistance and collective liberation through the Palestinian lens via live performances and new improvisations, and his single Tala’ al-Badru ‘Alayna was highlighted on Resident Advisor through PTP's Palestinian Resistance compilation and featured via The Wire.

Lita and Onmr greet the SOR team at the steel doors of Pioneer Works, a nonprofit cultural arts center located in Red Hook. The group weaves through an extravagent wedding celebration that happens to be taking place in the center’s outdoor space. Perched in the midst of it all is Omar’s studio, provided for his month-long music residency. The group ascends a spiral staircase reaching the top of the lighthouse-esque tower and sets up for discussion in the studio. 

Read about their collaborative Sonic Liberation Device and the art of decolonizing sound and self.
