QOW
aka Omar El Sadek is an audiovisual artist specialising in electronic sound design and animated visuals from Cairo. His works focus mainly on documenting and repurposing the fragile nature of his surroundings, including himself. He takes a similar visual approach, investing in poetic imperfections and unexpected intimacies. In his upcoming live set, he’ll be playing a set of (soon-to-be-released) material that focus mainly on sampling songs by the arabic popstar, Sherine, and manipulating them into string-y ambient tracks and soundscapes.
The first track of this new project was released on the V.A compilation; Irsh - Did you mean: irish vol. 2 Qow - Keteer
