Faraj Suleiman (1984) is a Palestinian a composer and pianist. His music is strongly influenced by Arabic/Eastern melodies and rhythms. He often incorporates those scales and modalities in his compositions. In addition to being inspired by his Arabic culture, he is also influenced by Tango and Jazz traditions.

As an Arab musician/pianist trained in classical music, he constantly searches for new forms of expression to equally appeal to his "Eastern" and "Western" listeners. To date, Suleiman composed several albums which have placed the "Eastern" piano in the centre of the composition, ranging from solo piano compositions to quartets, quintets, arrangements for choir and full orchestras.

He released a number of albums and musical projects such as : "Login", "Three Steps", "Mud", "Opening of the Palestinian Museum", "Al-Bashiq", "Love in the Cloud", "Once Upon a City”, "Love Without a Story" and lately “Toy Box”. He also composed music for theatre and film.

Today, Suleiman is considered as one of the most promising composers in the Arab world.

أوووووووووووووووووووووووووف

Oud soloist, composer and songwriter living in Haifa whose musical talent started to surface at the age of six when he began learning western classical music mainly playing the piano. He then went on to pursue studying Arabic music independently. In 2001, Ramsis started to study at the Academy of Music in Jerusalem where he completed his undergraduate studies summa cum laude, specializing in the instrument of the Oud, 
Today, in addition to his musical projects, Ramsis teaches upcoming generations of musicians on the Oud at the Beit Almusica conservatory in Shefa-Amr. In addition, he has acquired significant experience in composing music for the theatre.
“Dajal” is his debut project and combines two of his own previous compositions: “Birth” and “Deception.”          
In this work, Ramsis presents the idea of music’s deceptive influence on the auditor’s psyche, journeying through different sensual worlds to unsettle the relationship between reality and imagination. Ramsis relies on a unique stylistic practice of the "Arabic Maqam" (Arabic musical scale) and complex rhythms as well as improvisations.
