KHBT008: Yaseen El Azzouni - Commissioned Work 02 ['On The Road' Gallery Installation Excerpts]

Selected excerpts and tracks from Yaseen El Azzouni's original sound installation, commissioned by Egyptian visual artist Dalilah Hassanein for her debut solo gallery 'On The Road' on the 12th of October 2022.

This multi-room, multi-channel installation is made of equal parts ambient soundtrack and resampled field recordings, and is El Azzouni's second foray into gallery-focused audio installations. 

Mirroring Hassanein's workflow of layered paints & graffiti on canvas, this installation focused mainly on heavily resampled audio material, sourced from Cairo's cacophonous streets, as well as soft ambiences intended to highlight the contrasting moods of Cairo streets; endless chaos, and melancholic silence.


The bandcamp download for this project includes two bonus tracks:
1) a live remix of postdrone's 'dawsha FM' created during the setup and operation of the installation. 

2) a mixtape of radio songs and ambience, recorded between the hours of 3am and 7am from 2020-2022, while returning home late at night on Cairo's iconic 'da2ery' highway.

On The Road by Dalila Hassanein - Gallery description:
‘The haphazardness of the writing and signs
covering the walls of Cairo drives me to
create prolifically’ she says. The walls that
inspire her are mirror portraits of the city and
its people, personalities and stories.

In her final product Hassanein borrows the
city’s vernacular, her moda operandi of
layering bold and vibrant color impulsively
over time gives each canvas multiple lives,
each layer tells a story of someone or
something that once was.

This visceral navigation of Cairo evokes the
blurred boundaries between its formal and
the informal characters. Walking through the
body of work feels strangely familiar, like
things are always moving but never really
changing or changing but never really
moving.

'On the Road' maps the story of Cairo and
celebrates its creative informality. Its cracks,
used public spaces and lived landscapes are
traced and enlarged for you to see, with
nowhere else to look.'

ولا عندي خبر... كيف
مرت سنة خطأ.. كبير, مقنع حالي بخطر .. موت
بقدرش اثق بشر .. خوف 
بطلت اثق حتى بنفسي ليش
لاني واقف مش عم بأذي جيش
لاني هارب من المحكي بليل
لاني واثق اني شاك بالنفس
لاني داقق باب, وسامع همس
عشان شو عشان مين؟ عشان تشوف
كيف الناس بتيجي اشكال الوان 
ومش عارف شو السالفة سيدي
في الراس اوهام بتنقز ديخي
شو صار للناس... بتحبش...
افكار قولقاز, بتهِمش.....
شو صار للناس, بطلت تحب
بلى بتزت, قلق وفتنة
وغلبة ومصالح, وتحميل جمايل
عيني عينك وعلى الواضح بتأذيك بدقايق

بدكاش توصايييييية
تعلم الادب ورتل, ولا حدا كامل
تغلب الولد من القتلة, لمتى ننقاتل
كتب المعنى برسمة, فش وقت ابرم
ترك الشقة في خمة, ببقى ارجع ارتب
البلد في الازمة, ولا سبب ابتسم
انا متأكد... الشغلة اكبر مني
بس مش اكبر منا واكيد مش اكبر من الله
قعد يأذن......... 

الله اكبر علينا,

لإمتى؟

ننضلنا هيك؟

يا عيبك

قوم الحق رزق

توب وإسمع ريذم

دوبنا بلشنا

شو تنسى الميشن؟

روق واهدى تشيلين


خزوق بتفتح جِسر 

 الروح على البابتيزم

ارجع لحالك ياخي

وانت وماشي 

افهم انه الحكي تافه

الحكي على الفاضي

بدون فِعل...
