Born and raised in Egypt’s crowded, disordered capital Cairo, Assyouti is among his generation’s most distinct and unapologetic voices. Juggling hypermodern bass mutations, warped dancefloor snaps and percussive club experiments, he draws energy from the chaotic stimulus he grew up engulfed by, moving fluidly between supercharged, frenetic feverisms and moments of introspective emotional hypnosis, usually weaving (in and out of) both creating high-pressure narratives fueled by a sense of theatrical disorientation.

Since relocating to Berlin in 2021, Assyouti has appeared at renowned festivals including Unsound, Berlin Atonal, CTM, Intonal, and Uganda’s Nyege Nyege. In 2024 he founded No_Stone, an event series and cultural platform reflecting his
commitment to expansive, cross-pollinated adventurous music. He has released on labels such as DAWN, Hundebiss, High Digital, Shepard Tone, PAYNOMINDTOUS, and a slew of other imprints.

In this performance he reworks the score of the 1928 silent film The Passion of Joan of Arc, stretching and disassembling it into a fragile, unstable sound field. Voices and orchestral fragments are slowed, looped and eroded to the point of rupture, shifting from accompaniment to textural matter that flares and falls to ash as distortion and decay quietly overtake the image.
