Sība, Younes Zarhoni isolates Auto-Tuned vocals from
(arab) pop, raï, and (t)rap, stripping away all instrumentation and context
to craft new minimalist, futuristic arrangements. The voices, slowed and
severed from their linguistic roots, lose their meaning and become enigmatic
sound. Through transforming chart music into a light and intangible texture,
he constructs a suspended, immersive sonic realm in quadraphonic audio,
echoing faintly musique (non)concrète.
