History of Heat

History of Heat is an experimental LP composed, mixed and performed by Sadaf H Nava and released on Brooklyn based music label Blueberry records as a 12" Vinyl and online release in July 2019. It is the scholarship of heat, and the sources of its production: desire, exaltation, anticipation, fear, rage and mourning . It is a fable circulating through the nerves, pumped and distributed by its own mythologies.
