• STBSA 

​In December 2018, my musical project STBSA was showcased at the Shebbak El Fan Festival at the Goethe-Institut Cairo. This performance combined ancient Egyptian vocal traditions with contemporary electronic music, creating a unique and immersive experience. The project explored the ancient art of the "Nuh" (a traditional Egyptian lament) and merged it with contemporary singing, movement, and visual arts. The name "STBSA" itself holds ancient Egyptian significance, meaning "the chosen one," reflecting the project's distinctive approach to music and performance.

• Between Two Cultures

In October 2021, I participated in the "Between Two Cultures" composition workshop led by Prof. Nahla Mattar and Sune Kølster. This inspiring experience immersed us in the stunning landscapes of the Fayoum desert, where we composed new works inspired by the environment and cultural exchange. The workshop culminated in a public concert at Makan, Cairo.

Two of my compositions, "Madinet Madi" and "Magical Lake," were included in the album released from the workshop. These pieces reflect the unique blend of Eastern and Western influences that

emerged from the collaborative spirit of the event.

• ​Halaqat Festival

In December 2021, my composition "Bouncy Balls" was commissioned by Halaqat Festival, Bozar Brussels, and the Goethe-Institut. This piece was selected as the official soundtrack for the festival's documentary film.
