For most people in and around downtown Cairo, the cacophony of sounds that make up the urban soundscape is nothing but unwanted noise. In collaboration with the Swiss Arts Council, Pro Helvetia, and under the auspices of the famed, sound artist and experimental electronic musician, Joke Lanz, the workshop aims to trace, dissect, select, record and transform various and vibrant sounds of downtown Cairo in hopes of making definite claims on Egyptian society. I made this piece during the "Art of noise" workshop which took place in (100copies music) space, downtown, Cairo, Egypt 2013.
