Yasmine Baramawy is an Egyptian musician, sound artist, oud performer and composer based in Malmö, Sweden. She has developed an original sound universe around her practice of the oud (modified and augmented by a low string) but also around concrete music and other electronic experiments. She plays one of the world’s oldest instruments yet she manages to work with a curious blend of different approaches and genres. She builds sound installations mingling with poetry and spoken word added to her oud live manipulations, her approach is characterized by a permanent sound research, exploring both the acoustic tradition of the oud and adventurous and transversal sound practices.
