After Israel's latest brutal attacks on Gaza on May, 2021, I composed this piece sampling an interview by Dr. Noura Erakat, as an attempt to amplify Palestinian voices. You can find the full interview here: https://youtu.be/0rBIK9g_43I

My dear friend Lloyd Degler contributed with the tarhu.
I scrambled some visuals from various online sources as well and made a video of it: https://youtu.be/APTWsPRqY4k

A Simple Question

excuse the crappy digital instrument sound...

The Thrill Has Come

All the instruments are new to me, so bear with it :)

Dokuzkunduz

A little gift for the naming ceremony of a friend's little baby. It reflects the hope and maybe the unfair burden we lay on the next generation.

In Search Of Atman

Muma is the musician alter ego of Mehmet Ali Arslan, who delicately replants his Kurdish/Turkish roots in a landscape of rock with a breeze of jazz. Listening between the notes, the curious listener can trace Mehmet’s path through the eclectia of Radiohead, Esbjörn Svensson Trio, The Cinematic Orchestra, A Perfect Circle, Jaga Jazzist and Tool.

Here are some of Muma's demos/skethces/interludes/etc...
