This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th century philosopher, novelist, and essayist Albert Camus' four Letters To A German Friend (anthologized in Resistance, Rebellion, and Death: Essays)

Specifically it examines the first letter, which elaborates the theme of love for one's country. He makes a distinction between two different conceptions of love for one's country, one which subordinates all other values and realities to one's country (as the Nazis do), and one that holds one's country to higher standards (as the French do), which seems to put them at a disadvantage.

Homeland Security Weekly Update - Aug 23, 2025

Impale me with your moonlight, draw me to the homeland

Mooncakes (Demo)

این قطعه برداشتِ شخصی من از حال‌وهوای غزلی از عارف قزوینی است؛ شاعری و تصنیف‌سازی آزادی‌خواه از روزگار مشروطه (۱۲۵۹–۱۳۱۲) که صدای اعتراض، رهایی از قفس و شوقِ وطن را در شعر و موسیقی‌اش ثبت کرد. تلاش کرده‌ام تصویری امروزی از دل‌تنگی و آزادی‌طلبی همان جهان بسازم. تقدیم به یادِ عارف و همه دل‌هایی که هنوز برای رهایی می‌تپند.

This track is my personal take on the mood of a ghazal by Aref Qazvini—an Iranian poet–songwriter of the Constitutional era whose work captured protest, the urge to break the cage, and love of homeland. I’ve tried to render that same longing and fight for freedom in a contemporary voice. Dedicated to Aref’s memory and to all hearts still beating for liberation.

This one’s called “Holy Land”.  
Deep house x liquid DnB – FLEN’N’Bass business.  

It’s about that place that made you. Your block, your town, your mum’s front room – the spot that still feels sacred no matter how far you drift.  
I built the drums like footsteps back home, bassline like that low hum you feel as soon as you hit your own postcode.  

Run it for night drives, train rides back to the ends, or them quiet moments when you remember exactly where you’re from.  

If this feels like your home too, drop a comment, repost it, send it to someone who gets it.

DJ Zeki - Holy Anatolia +

A heartfelt, sing-along anthem honoring the Lone Soldier who leaves home, crosses oceans, and finds a new family in Israel. Mixing English storytelling with Hebrew phrases like “יאללה!” and “אח שלי, אני פה איתך,” the song blends warm acoustic folk and uplifting pop energy. It celebrates courage, sacrifice, and the deep brotherhood and sisterhood found in the IDF—reminding us that even without family nearby, a soldier can find a home in the hearts of those who stand beside them.

Got No Family-I Found My Family Here

Music is not just an art form for me—it's a lifeline, a form of therapy that sees me through the highs and lows of life. Each track I create is a piece of my soul, translated into sound. It's in the depths of melodies and rhythms that I find solace, pouring my emotions and experiences into each note as a way to heal and understand myself better. My music is a diary of my journey, a reflection of the inner workings of my mind and heart. When you notice an influx of new tracks, it's a signal that I'm navigating through tougher times, seeking refuge and expression through my music. This direct channel from my innermost thoughts to your ears is what makes my music raw, real, and resonant. So, as you listen, know that you're not just experiencing a song, but a chapter of my life, a moment of catharsis, and a piece of my path to healing. My hope is that it may offer you the same comfort and escape it provides me.

فانوس مرزهای صدا را کاوش می‌کند و موسیقی‌ای می‌سازد که عمق احساسی را با بافت‌های تجربی ترکیب می‌کند. با استفاده از هوش مصنوعی به عنوان یک ابزار خلاقانه، هر قطعه از تعامل پویای ایده‌ها شکل می‌گیرد و تجربه‌ای منحصر به فرد و در حال تحول را به شنوندگان ارائه می‌دهد.

Fa-Noose explores the boundaries of sound, crafting music that blends emotional depth with experimental textures. Using AI as a creative tool, each track is shaped by a dynamic interplay of ideas, offering listeners a distinct and evolving musical experience.

Physician and surgeon, writer, and composer exploring themes of reflection, survival, healing, love, and human connection.

This work spans music, storytelling, and narrative pieces created for moments of quiet attention—during recovery, late nights, childhood, caregiving, grief, hope, and resilience. Some tracks are written for children, some for adults, and many for the spaces in between, where memory and emotion overlap.

As a physician, I am drawn to the ways people endure, adapt, and heal. As a writer, I focus on human relationships, family, vulnerability, and the small moments that shape us. As a composer, I create music meant to accompany rather than dominate—music that can sit beside thought, rest, or reflection.

These pieces are not designed for performance or spectacle.
They are meant to keep company.
