Finally got the Korg DW8000 working. It sounds amazing. Combined it with my Moog Sub37 for a bit of 80s inspired soundtrack music. 

DW8000 Meets Sub37

Meriem Ben Amor is a Tunisian-Canadian Singer: a unique voice with "Warm and Ethereal" tone that blends the richness of the eastern ornaments to the softness and clarity of the western music. Meriem is a pluri-disciplinary musician: she sings, plays string instruments and percussion. She’s is a polyglot artist who speaks and sings in Arabic, French, Spanish and English. Her exposure to many cultural influences allowed her to sing in other languages like Romani, Ladino, Azeri, Farsi and Romanian. 

At a very young age, Meriem grew up joining her father's soulful Sufi chanting, she learned the violin when she was 12, classical guitar when she was 17 and spent the past decade studying and playing the piano. In Tunisia, Meriem studied the Arabic Maqam and the Tunisian Malouf while finishing her bachelor degree in electronic engineering. 

After moving to Canada, she deepened her knowledge in classical music theory and took several composition master classes and advanced workshops as well as electronic music production courses at Berklee College of Music.

She performs with "The Roma Jazz Ensemble", a World Music ensemble based in Vancouver, led by the violin virtuoso Lache Cercel.

In 2019, Meriem met with the two-time Grammy nominee DJ/Producer/Sound Designer, founder of the Label Electrofone and member of the NARAS "Carmen Rizzo" who produced her debut album "Once Upon a Time".  The collaboration continued  through releasing two more singles and a Remix EP in 2020 and led to founding together  the band "Didon" end of 2021.

Meriem continues collaborating with artists of various musical backgrounds and seeking new experiences.

Music Producer, Composer, Songwriter, Remixer, Musician

I have always loved music and dreamed of becoming a music producer. One day I decided to quit dreaming and went all in and bought what I thought I needed to get started. Through trial and error and countless hours of practicing I slowly developed my craft to what it is today. That being said, I'm still learning and far from being totally satisfied with my level of production. Thank you for listening. Email me for any inquiries.
