Sami El-Enany is a composer and sound designer fraying the edges of modern classical, electronica and found sound. His work includes multichannel installation, record production and image-sound collaboration. His compositions have received accolades from the Africa Movie Academy Awards, Grand Prix Nova, BBC Drama Awards and Phonurgia Nova.
As a musician and improvisor Sami is currently developing tape collage techniques as a tool for listening and reflection. The source material for the tapes are a scrapbook of exploratory recording sessions, off-cuts from his film scores, and found sound spanning his travels as a field recordist. Sami narrates the tape collages with improvisations at the piano.
Through his practice and research, Sami is delving into the sonics of solidarity, exploring sound as resonance for union.
