The Infinite Hip-Hop Song Live!

Fire bars and rhymes, shifting bass-lines, mutating beats, elastic melodies all put together live into one evolving set using a custom-made digital interface. Developed from Khan's forward looking algorithmic music installation of the same name - the set relies on a vast database of original  beats, melodies, bass-lines as well as vocal units from ten specially written songs recorded in the studio with eleven rappers of diverse backgrounds.

Hassan Khan has been making adventurous music since his 90s debut in Cairo, and is considered one of the pioneers of experimental and contemporary approaches in the region. With tabla dubb (2001) he began developing sets that offer unique takes on various genres like New Shaabi in The Big One, Arabic Music in Taraban, New Music in Live Ammunition!
