A live improvisation show will take place at Medrar for Contemporary Art in Garden City on 6 August, bringing together contemporary Egyptian musician, composer and producer Rami Abadir with musician Mostafa El-Sayed.

In Analogue Sound the pair will perform electronic music using analogue equipment only. The music will be accompanied by a visual show designed by Islam Shabana.

Abadir has been experimenting with electronic music for the past few years, collaborating with other musicians, artists, filmmakers, and choreographers to enrich his practice.

In April 2013, he collaborated with visual artist Mohamed Allam in a live audio-visual performance as part of a multi-part project engineered by the latter, dubbed My '90s: A Panorama of Collective Memory Televised. And in January 2014, he also played live music during choreographer Mounir Said's harrowing dance piece A Room Filled with Smoke, which brought two dancers grappling with life and suicide to the Falaki Theatre stage for Studio Emad Eddin's 2B Continued Festival.
