about

An astonishing collection of field recordings capturing the soul of Egyptian cities Alexandria, Luxor, Aswan and Cairo is transformed into a collective reimagining of life, love and death in Egypt.

Each composition is lovingly constructed from an individual field recording to create a reimagined sound world from the very fabric of life in Egypt's bustling urban spaces.
