Rami Abadir is collaborating with Mostafa El Sayed in a live improvisation
The mixture of analog synthesizers (no laptops), drum machines, sampling repetitive patterns creates different musical dynamics
with more focus on textures and timbres leading to a unique heavy and abrasive sound
Visual show by Islam Shabana
Grounded in the world of synth, there’s a lot to respect" about the music of Rami Abadir and Mostafa El-Sayed in terms of approach and what they’re trying to do. More importantly though, the work sounds good. There’s few things more satisfying than the double whammy of great sounding music coming from artists who stand firm on not compromising their approach. With nary a laptop in sight, the duo churn out a dense electronic cornucopia of power bass grooves and evolving beats coupled with synth chords and dissonant flourishes" by Dandin
"There was a strong and seemless dialogue between Abadir and Mostafa's respective musics, adding a fluid and fresh element to the performance." by Ahram Online
