Zizi is a cellist and sound programmer.

Her work focuses on live performance and improvisation, and her primary inspiration comes from classical arabic and contemporary music.

She prefers to research and conceptualize her work,
seeking to deconstruct musical structures within scores, instruments, and machines — and weaving them to uncover meaning, welcome noise, stutter, and repetition.

In 2019, she completed her studies in Cello Performance at the Higher Institute of Arabic Music and has been a member of the Cairo Improvisation Orchestra since its inception.

In 2022, Zizi co-founded ZayMaTeegy, a livecoding initiative, and Mo7itat, an event series dedicated to ambient and noise music in Cairo.
Her organisational work stems from being deeply immersed in Cairo’s music scene, yearning to contribute spaces for herself and others to experiment and collaborate.

She continues to perform across solo and collaborative projects, exploring themes of improvisation as real-time composition, repetition, and memory.
