Is this a balalika I think that's how you spell it-I have a new one up too Ahmad

Remembers me a bit Gustavo Santaolalla in Babel

Interesting and captivating.  Great choice to feature the oud!

Track used for a documentary presented by a friend as a Masters project at Brunel University, UK

And He Stood There

A music composer and Oud player, currently living in Fairfax, VA. I have left my previous job as a marketing manager to pursue my dream in working in the creative field. I composed soundtracks for 12 feature movies, and working on creating my own sound of rhythm-based improv World Music fuze.

My inspirations and musicians i look up to include Maurice Jarre, Ennio Morricone, Hans Zimmer, Tchaikovsky, Beethoven, Ratatat, Nino Rota and many others.

In terms of Oud, my favorite players include Rohi Khammash, Farid Al Atrash, Ahmad Al Khatib and Khayyam Al Lami.
