Four years after his last release as Hauschka, composer Volker Bertelmann returns to City Slang for his new effort “PHILANTHROPY”. While touching on the work of musical innovators, such as Erik Satie and John Cage, Hauschka reimagines the potential of the prepared piano for the 21st century, a technique that involves inserting objects between the instrument’s strings or onto its hammers to expand its sonic and operative possibilities.

..U can build a new world of ur own...just by making music.

نافذة على قلبي، وغيمة تحملني إلى السماء.

لكل انسان ظروف وحكاوي كتير جواه 
ومش معنى انه بيضحك كتير يبقا حكاوية كلها سعادة

Nour Khan is a singer-songwriter from Cairo, Egypt, known for blending different genres with a sound that’s always rooted in real emotion. She first made waves in 2013 when her debut single Ghorabaa went viral, marking the beginning of her journey as an artist.

In 2017, she started studying Classical Singing with Prof. Dr. Sobhi Bidair at the Cairo Opera House. A couple of years later, she continued her vocal training at Dr. Neveen Allouba’s Vocal Academy, driven by a desire to dig deeper into the craft and learn more about her voice.

Her music started reaching wider audiences in 2021 when Aalam Jameel was chosen as the ending theme for Jameel Jiddan on MBC and Shahid. Later that year, her song Ala El Hady was featured twice in the series Stiletto, also on MBC and Shahid.

For Nour, music has always been personal. She writes from experience, whether it’s heartbreak, healing, or moments of reflection. Her songs feel like quiet confessions—honest, emotional, and unafraid to be vulnerable. Now, she’s focused on building her sound and exploring new directions, one song at a time.
