Mohamed Bourouissa – AB (PAN 149S1)

Critically acclaimed photographer, Paris-based Algeria-born artist Mohamed Bourouissa has long fostered a deep, enveloping interest in sound. ‘LILA’ is his solo debut, a self-styled “musical object” that inventories the important relationships in his life; each of the album’s tracks is dedicated to (and named after) a person he was thinking about as he composed the record. Emotionally charged and rooted in the aesthetics Bourouissa pegs to his bonds with sound, people and art, it’s as complex and multi-layered as any of his celebrated installations or exhibitions.
