dontknowco

Audio production studio founded by Abbas Zahedi and Saint Abdullah.

Established through their ongoing collaboration, dontknowco operates as a space for expanded sonic research and production, working across art, new media, film, and music.

The audio production studio explores sound as a conduit for memory, ritual, neo-diasporas, and collective forms of repair. This joint venture marks a formal consolidation of their creative and conceptual practices under a shared identity, signalling a shift toward working as a collective entity.

dontknowco has been proposed as the vehicle through which Zahedi and Saint Abdullah will undertake a joint residency at Somerset House Studios. The residency will serve as a focused base for developing experimental audio works, scores, installations, and public programmes that sit at the intersection of their practices.

Through dontknowco, the artists aim to contribute to the wider ecosystem of Somerset House Studios while advancing their shared exploration of sonic, cultural, and conceptual territories.
