Saia explores the links between sound and motion through repetition, interaction, and his spiritual practice of Islam. He experiments with auralizing and ocularizing sound art and its kinetic components through work with FL studio, open-source electronics, and perspex. Saia is very inclined towards interactivity and objects that bring meaning and ideas through physical or perceptual engagement.

Collidascope Lamps
Ongoing experiment with light and perspex
Atlas Music Box
In Development Device / Installation Perspex, Atlas Sensing Labs air quality monitor, speaker driver, raspberry pi, fasteners, code. In an innovative approach to reframing air quality alerts such as smoke detectors, Air Sound takes a quieter tonal approach to signaling disturbances in domestic air quality within the sleek form of a hybrid art/utility object. Through real-time air quality sonification that adapts to the sonic environment Air Sound builds awareness and fosters healthier behaviors surrounding indoor air quality.
That Air: Bad Air
That Air: Bad Air –– A loud room filling hum, most consistently abrasive February 2025 Sculpture / Installation / Interactive Hand molded perspex, motor, flashlight, contact microphone, light dynamic resistor, bela board, speakers. A whirring, humming, and spinning dissertation on the connection between noise pollution and air quality in the urban environment. Illuminated and activated through the viewers’ own will and use of a flashlight (either a phone, or one of those provided).
Mycelium Affect
October 2024 Public Sound Installation Regent's Park, London Portable speakers, composed sound, trees (of site). Speakers hidden in the branches of trees form an offset playback network, attempting to uncover the beauty and expansiveness of mycelium networks while materially juxtaposed with the use of AI sound generation tools. Installed during Frieze art fair week in consideration of the increased traffic in Regent's park.
eye(through)eye
June 2024 Sculpture / Interactive Perspex, cassette player’s, cassette tape, flashlight, composed sound. Stemming from a critical investigation into the inherent connection between sound art and kinetic art, incorporating sounds composed to tape loops using Dhikr (remembrance of Allah), a sonic ritual based on repetition.
Sub-aqueous Milieu
January 2024 Sculpture / Instrument Plywood, mirrored acrylic, contact microphones, plastic bottles with adjustable nozzle, bela boards, circuitry, amplifier, code, bespoke speaker (plywood, speaker driver). Sub-aqueous Milieu [lit. under water social environment] is an interactive water based drum sequencer, provoking a toylike experimental approach to dance music and harnessing the mundane water drop to create an interactive polyphonic environment. Decorated with my own illustrations depicting abstract and organic circuitry, mimicking the ubiquitous flow of water, Sub-aqueous Milieu makes a direct link between water and entertainment, encouraging reflection on all the water systems in our lives.
