In which eavesdropping host Juliet Fraser talks to Aya Metwalli about Cairo's soundscape, feline metamorphosis, the joy of listening from the outside and the magnetism of a good performance.

References: John Cage, György Ligeti, Diamanda Galás, John Coltrane, Merzbow and Throbbing Gristle. I can recommend Aya's album 'Al Saher' with Calamita.

Aya will perform in the eavesdropping festival at Cafe OTO on Thursday 27 March 2025: https://www.eavesdropping.london/activity/festival-2025/
