At its core lies the eternal human impulse to walk the line between known and unknown, between yesterday and tomorrow. This figure—the mediator standing at the convergence of opposites, holding the moment steady—becomes a symbol of us all, listening at the edge of the sacred. “Sur le Fil de l’Aube” (On the Thread of the Dawn) is a deeply spiritual exploration of the liminal space between night and day, mortal and divine. At its core is the image of the ancient Egyptian temple—a cradle of light where the god Ra is reborn each morning. This temple is not only physical but symbolic: a place of emergence, of invocation, and of cosmic renewal. In Egyptian cosmology, dawn is a sacred threshold. It marks Ra’s daily transformation from the hidden Atum to the radiant sun disk, a moment of divine emergence. Dahroug’s music follows this sacred arc—from darkness and uncertainty to the first breath of light—a sonic mirror to creation itself. The music becomes a temple, a site of worship and awakening, where the listener participates in the sacred rites of morning.
