Alexandrian musician Khaled Kaddal makes instruments out of different types of metal designed to be played by the wind giving a melodic sound for his installation project 'Sawteyat' (Sounds).

The installation, displayed in front of the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, on 26 and 28 February during the afternoons, challenges the social stereotype of what music is while pesenting a different type of art in public space in Egypt's second largest city.
