On this episode we catch up a little on what’s been going on for us here at Sounds Curious before diving into Egyptian experimental music and reveling in the sounds of the streets of Cairo with field recordings from the great artists over at Radio Aporee. Featuring a June article in CairoScene Magazine, this week’s episode features the work of 7 female experimental Egyptian composers. So we harken back to our previous episode Many, Many, and continue to enjoy the incredible diversity of the genre of experimental music through the artists working in and around the dynamic city of Cairo. Links to all the composers, producers and sound artists featured below.
