Beyond the Pyramids, the Square

Cairo-based artist and musician Ahmed Basiony died on January 28 from asphyxiation while participating in the successful Egyptian popular uprising. 100radiostation.com has been playing his music continuously ever since.

His Vimeo channel has only two documents of his live sound, but it’s interesting stuff (via Dangerous Minds).

Disquiet.com offers a small view of his life’s work and posts a remarkable audio memorial.
