Last year on February 1, Ahmed Samir Santawy, an MA student of the Central European University in Vienna, was detained by the Egyptian Security Forces based on fabricated charges. Ahmed is a prisoner of conscience and his basic human rights have been violated for 365 days.

A song from our hike in a French forest. We had so much fun in a picknick with saucisson, baguette, and sounds of wood and birds.

Sometime rainy and windy, sometimes sunny with a good view... that's hike. 
Everything will be good as we met an extra friendly cow.

Christmas Jam In Graz

I make music for my life. Literally, I make music from moments of my life. My first song here is for the protest for my unfortune friend. Since then, I record sounds and voices I encounter in my daily life and trips, and then chop them and reconstruct with other sounds to create a song that recalls emotional moments.
