Don't really get how this is Cairo related, besides that young men here love techno, but ok.

Title / Les écoutis le Caire Artist / Gilles Aubry (b. 1973) Release / 2010 Label / Gruenrekorder Profession / Sound Artist, Musician

Sound City / Cairo Country / EG Type / drone, filtration, horn, music, voice, alarm

1 Track 1 [29:15] 2 Track 2 [23:30] 

Les Écoutis Le Caire (The Listeners of Cairo) is defined by Aubry as a study of ‘indirect listening.’ The artist uses usually empty spaces—such as a bathroom, market hall, basilica, courtyard, refrigerator and parking house—to study the natural filtration of urban sound.  The album includes carefully cut-and-paste assemblages of field recordings.  Strategically placed field recordings at the beginning and end of the first track result in a ‘fade out’ effect while the second maintains a somewhat consistent volume.  The sonic variety emphasizes the degree to which Cairo, both internally and externally, is saturated in sound. The disordered blend of car horns, street music, voices, alarms, etc. is softened as a result of Aubry’s ‘indirect’ recording method, which creates a seemingly ‘processed’ album of indistinguishable sound origins. The CD itself is embellished with an untitled city plan and is accompanied by a fold-out poster, or ‘wordmap,’ by the Swiss artist Stéphane Montavon, who together with Aubry completed a residency in Cairo.  Three circular cut-outs on the CD cover seem to be a viewfinder, allowing one to discover new ‘wordmap’ combinations.

Day after day

I go with my camera into the Egyptian old streets, to discover the life of its people… In Elmoezz ST, I tried to capture the moment of a little boy while trying play with his toy like others, It was a dream for him, but the fate makes his try gone down, he still try & try without any response. One day he will reach what he want. One day he will acheive his big dream after acheiving his small one…
