An electroacoustic concert by Ahmed Essyad and Gilles Aubry at the Salle Gérard Philipe, Institut Français de Rabat. The concert programme highlights the convergence of traditional and avant-garde music in Morocco. Ahmed Essyad's electronic compositions, dating from the 1970s, evoke the popular music heard in Moroccan villages in the late 1950s. Gilles Aubry plays with modular synthesizers and an artificial intelligence sound generator. His piece is inspired by the song L'Makina by Haj Belaïd, a Chleuh raïss (poet-singer) from the 1930s.
