Check Point 303

checkpoint 303 is inspired by the sounds that pace
the daily lives of millions of people in the middle
east. screeching sounds of bullets. echoing injustice.
uproar. revolt. dispair and sadness. and still amidst
all this the soothing sounds. of hope. of normality.
trivial acts. life like everywhere else. this is not
a video game. violence is not a moving image on tv.
it's the daily nightmare of millions...

Project

the electronic experiment kicked off in 2004 when
tunisian sound cutter SC MoCha teamed up with
Bethlehem based palestinian sound catcher SC
Yosh to form Checkpoint 303. the idea was to
cut, track, fragment and reconstruct the audio
soundscape from daily lives in the middle east.
new audio reporting on injustice. Paris-based SC
MoCha reworks the field recordings made by SC
Yosh in the occupied territories into rhythmical
transcriptions that range from raw acoustic
aggression to synthetic soothing tunes with
everything in between.

Several artists and friends from around the globe
contribute to Checkpoint 303's recordings. recent
collaborations include Cheikh Julian, Noise
Generator SoM, VL MonaLisa, Ms K. SuShi, Mehdi
Douss, Melski & Damski.
