🔊 x Industrial Coast Presents Saint Abdullah & Eomac 🎶

Saint Abdullah & Eomac is a long distance, ongoing collaboration between Mohammad and Mehdi, New York based Iranian-Canadian brothers who make up Saint Abdullah and Eomac, aka Ian McDonnell, a producer based in Wicklow, Ireland.

Saint Abdullah’s practice is rooted in sonic storytelling, and media, blending geo-politics, religion, and social behavior. Eomac's sound draws from obscure samples and raw synthesis in an ongoing exploration of intense, visceral music for body and soul. Initially starting work together in 2019, they were mutual fans of each other's music and found that their own productions, Saint Abdullah using outboard analogue gear and Eomac in the box, complemented each other with a sense of rawness and heavy use of samples and extreme contrasts.

🌱 We would like to invite you to take part in a survey that will help shape the future of creative industries across the Tees Valley. 🖍️

Augarde & Partners are undertaking this research on behalf of Creative Factory Middlesbrough to gather data and insights that will inform a study assessing the viability of a Creative Land Trust, alongside identifying the best ways to support the growth and sustainability of the creative sector locally.

The survey should take approximately 15–20 minutes to complete. All responses will be treated confidentially, and the data collected will be used solely for the purposes of this study. No personal data will be shared.

For reference, a Creative Land Trust is typically an independent (often charitable) organisation that acquires and manages property to provide permanent, affordable workspaces for artists, makers, and creative businesses, helping to protect creative activity from rising property costs and market pressures.

This research forms part of The Engine Room project, funded by the Tees Valley Mayor and Combined Authority, Arts Council England, and the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.

Thank you in advance for your time and support—it is greatly appreciated. 💚
