ABOUT

Sami El-Enany is an artist who works with sound, fraying the edges of modern classical, electronica, storytelling and found sound. His work includes multi-channel installation, electroacoustic composition, sound design, record production and image-sound collaboration. His score for the feature film Walking With Shadows (2020) was nominated for an Africa Movie Academy Award and his tone poem Creation of the Birds (2022) has received accolades from Grand Prix Nova, BBC Radio 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 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.
