Pollution Opera鈥檚 mixtape
Verity Sharp shares a mixtape from experimental noise duo Pollution Opera, the new project of sound artists, vocalists and disruptors Nadah el Shazly and Elvin Brandhi.
Verity Sharp shares a mixtape from intercontinental experimental noise duo Pollution Opera, the new project dreamt (or nightmared) up by Nadah el Shazly and Elvin Brandhi. Nadah is a singer, composer, and producer from Cairo who combines electronic music with contemporary classical and popular historical Egyptian music. Elvin is an artist, vocalist, and avant-garde musician from Bridgend, Wales, a seasoned improviser both as a solo artist and as half of father-daughter duo Yeah You.
Together, Nadah and Elvin aim for Pollution Opera to be an 鈥榰ncompromising futurist depiction of our disfigured, dystopian, and dying reality鈥�, weaving breathless shouts, screams, and screeches, alongside samples, field recordings and electroacoustic fragments. The project was conceived in 2020, during a tandem motorbike ride through Nadah鈥檚 hometown of Cairo, the second-loudest city in the world, where they found the extreme noise pollution cathartic, inspiring and existential. They鈥檝e crafted an exclusive mixtape for Late Junction that鈥檚 bound to put hairs on your chest.
