DA’WATOU MATEN ILA L’ASHA’ (دعوة موت الى العشاء) (2021)
Song cycle of six Arabic art songs for soprano and piano – ca. 30′
Poems by Zanoubia Zaher
In this album, contemporary music and contemporary poetry, meet together in response to ideas imposed by a complex surreal reality that is impossible to express in a traditional language. so it was a necessity to invent a new language that accommodates all the conflicts and contradictions of that reality. It was a language that combined the power of abstraction in contemporary music the extremism of ideas in modern poetry, the authenticity of the Arab musical heritage, and the abundance of expression tools in the classical Arabic language. This album, which is characterized by peculiarity and innovation, was the truest possible expression for the composer and the poet.

Our world is full of contrast: humanity/inhumanity, silence/sound, reality/dreams, sedulity, and exploitation… And we spend our entire lives searching for the balance between these contraries…
