Karem Matar is a composer and music arranger.Born in Nazareth in 1977, Karem was raised in a house rich with music and arts. His father, Joseph Matar, a competent artist and singer of great stature in the Middle Eastern and Arab Singing world. His mother specializes in musical education and works in the field as well.Karem's talent in composing and music arrangement has unfolded at an early age. He began his study in the field since he was seven years old, learning music theory and playing the piano, apprenticed with the best music teachers and experts. Karem completed his musical studies at age 24, specializing in sound engineering, which allows him to manage and operate his current studio.Karem has established his first tune in the year 1987 at the age of 10, where he composed his first piano piece. Since then, he has been in constant search of a music that best expresses his innermost self.
 Style and Musical work:
Karem gave an utmost importance to music, putting it in the head of his priorities, until it became the largest part of his life.His Musical tunes are characterized by extravagant sensitivity, combining Middle Eastern and classical music. This is reflected in the employment of ancient Eastern instruments taken from various geographical and ethnic regions, such as: Arab countries, North Africa, Turkey, the Balkans, Armenia, the countries of Central Asia, India and Persia; Hence, addressing the oriental spirit of the listener, creating the notion of an ancient oriental Nostalgia, integrating it with classical and modern Western instruments, and creating a vast cultural dimension by conferring his excellence in arrangement.Karem's advantage in this field stems from a personal theory he had once created for himself, which suggests that music is a spiritual "Formula" which launches without limitations, frameworks or laws, and ends by delivering a sensual and emotional experience to the receiver. So far, Karem has composed 53 musical pieces in complete Orchestral arrangement, each carries a different name suited for various expressionist and visual soundtracks. A special album containing those works will soon be distributed.Karem has composed and arranged over 450 songs for singers from the country and the Arab World, while applying his personal style in composing and arrangement and contributing to their success. A great number of those songs had won first prizes in various global and local competitions; their success reflected in the number of sales as well.
Karem composed for various prominent artists such as: Yusuf Matar, Zuhair Francis, Dalal Abu Amna, Amin Sultan (Lebanon), Kamal Suleiman, Maher Halabi, Elias Julianos, Wisam Habib, and more.

He worked with Rotana Channel on the arrangement and composing of three songs by Ameen Sultan, and is fully prepared to work with Artists from the Arab world who might find an aspiration in his musical approach and arrangement, aiming at elevating the Arab song to higher standards.

PRESS Fragments

“When Ana-Maria Avram conducts, she sometimes seems to be plucking
stars from the sky, or jabbing into hives, causing thousands of tiny critters to fly up into the air like flurries of gold dust. Avram allows the moment to shape the music. In her view, the analytical approach of serial and structuralist composers in recent decades represents a desacralisation of sound space. The conductor is instead drawn to spectral composition, in which everything develops from the nature of the sounds themselves. Moreover, to Avram, spectralism is not an academic, technologically assisted manipulation of the organism sound. Her work allows the sound to emerge from fluctuating acoustic systems in an interplay between composed and improvised passages, in which the musicians are co-creators in the most literal sense.  According to her, this is how musical activity and inner life can be combined, this is how music can open the doors to other areas of human life. A cursory glance at Avram’s catalogue of works reveals her dedication to the arcane, the archaic, the religious, and even, at times, the occult. Developed over recent years, Lux animae – Licht der Seele is an entire series of works for soloists and ensemble. One inspiration may have been the Rumanian spectralist Horatiu Radulescu’s 1996 work for viola solo, which bears the same title. Radulescu added the following notes to her piece: “Try not to be at all normal”, “always play always a bit little drunk", "all the new colours are beautiful", and "you must end in the air – imagine the sound vibrating in eterno". In comparison, Ana-Maria Avram’s philosophy seems more sober, but also more militant. For her, being modern means ”to be alive and vital. To accept risk. To dare. To think. To dare to think. To free yourself of preconceptions. To believe. To be brave. To be yourself. To know your weaknesses and not give up, by always asking yourself the same fundamental questions.” It follows that she always starts a new work by meditating; a dream that slowly takes concrete shape, until she finally brings it to life in the concert hall.”  Lux Aeterna Concert Ana-Maria Avram at Berghain 11th march 2011 by WanderingStar e.V.


“ De son coté, Ana-Maria Avram, maniant les sonorités de souche spectrale,
d’une tradition plus européenne, et instrumentales en intégrant l’imaginaire du son archétype, tout en privilégiant la structure dont elle exploite les différentes colorations dans un camaieu de résonances. Lignes brouillées, démultipliées, s’intermodulant en une géologie d’harmoniques fluides, l’album de Iancu Dumitrescu and Ana-Maria Avram constitue une parfaite introduction  à l'oeuvre de deux des compositeurs roumains les plus innovateurs and représentatifs de ce siècle”
Serge Belleudy - d’ESPINOSE : CRYSTAL LAKE, 31 Mars 1996


“Both Avram and Dumitrescu are convinced that if they have been able to
open new doors in music, it is because they have made or found precisely those connections bandween musical activity and inner life that remain unarticulated in conventional musical training. This is not, however, simply a matter of theit philosophy and motivation as artists. The psychological reality if their music is directly grounded in a conception of the acoustic reality iof sound.” Tim Hodgkinson, “Musicworks” No 71, Summer 1998,Toronto.


Works also features three compositions by ANA-MARIA AVRAM, born in 
Bucharest in 1961. Wonderful to hear music where textural innovations aren’t employed to colour pre-existing structures, but evolve form in process. On Zodiaque she plays prepared piano opposite Dumitrescu, a percussionist and magnetic tape. Seems like these Romanians are engaged in a similar kind of sonic research to that which resulted in the masterpieces of Giacinto Scelsi and Ennio Morricone : collective endeavour, genuine ‘deep listenning’. The results are similarly overpowering a milion miles from the tootling inconsecuence of most of what passes for New Music in the classical world. BEN WATSON - The WIRE, LONDON, May 1995

“Avram descends musically from a long line of European spectralist composers. 
Listening to her pieces forces one to recall the tradition of composers like Grisey and Murail, and sonically is incredibly reminiscent of earlier proto-spectralists like Giacinto Scelsi. She is most closely associated with fellow Romanian hyper-spectralist Iancu Dumitrescu, with whom Avram works closely as a composer, conductor, and pianist in the Hyperion Ensemble (founded by Dumitrescu in the 1970s). (…)
Spectral music can sometimes seem a bit cold, even mechanical, in its execution. Avram's music is particularly remarkable because of the very real warmth with which she imbues each of her pieces. Whether composing a solo work which she herself performs, or a piece for electronics, pre-recorded tape, and an entire chamber ensemble, Avram has a brilliant flair for the dramatic paired with a sense of subtlety that lends great contrast and excitement to each moment of each of her works.

Like other Romanian contemporary composers, such as Stefan Niculescu and Horatiu Radulescu (as well as, of course, Dumitrescu), Avram focuses on the use of bird calls, wind sounds, bells, and "natural" sounds that mix harmonic and inharmonic elements in the creation of her hyper-spectralist pieces. Her music is wonderfully textural and phenomenally beautiful. These clips included here are just a few examples of the already deep contributions Avram has made, at only age 50, to the world of New Music” .  WFMU Radio Station

La Colonie Volvox completed the circle of their musical journey with their latest release which brought them back to writing lyrics, melodies and arrangements, something they left behind 15 years ago when they started the band. After much experimentation with jazz, free improvisation and traditional music, their sixth studio release “Blue Bird” is a strait-ahead song oriented album, with music that reflects and resembles their musical heroes – The Beatles, Pink Floyd, The Doors and Frank Zappa, but also Nick Cave and Tom Waits, as well as the old blues masters. From the cabaret-like atmosphere of the opening love songs, the album slowly shifts towards hard driven blues and British rock, as humor and political themes replace love motifs. In their own words, “Blue Bird” was a test of the compositional skills and creativity they put on hold long time ago.
La Colonie Volvox was born out of the need to pursue different approaches and musical interests. It was formed by Sasho Gigov – Gish and Dragan Stojkovski in 2002 after the disbandment of the progressive-rock band “Klerzo”. The idea was to explore the opportunities of a leaderless music collective, as well as to expand their musicianship into styles and traditions other than rock music. After years of searching for the appropriate line-up, they settled for a steady one in 2006 when they recorded the first two albums. “Abstractology” was an aleatoric free improvisation session and the other one called “Wasteland” was the opposite of that – 11 acapella traditional folk songs with strict arrangements. They were published at the same time (October 2006) by the renowned label SJF Records from Skopje (a subsidiary of the Skopje Jazz Festival) and showed the diverse interests and eclectic aesthetics that LCV would continue to develop in the subsequent years. The third CD called “Europa” was published in 2009 and “East West and Rest” came out the year after, both bearing the marks of the previous releases – improvisational music with a lot of influence from the folk traditions of the Balkans and worldwide (Turkey, India, the Middle East). The constant change of the line-up became also the trademark of a collective that would always explore and search for new sonic experiences. That brought them to a point in which they left improvisation as a method and turned towards arranging traditional music for a new acoustic expression. The result was their fifth studio album called “AEIOU” (2012) , CD of world music oriented songs with lyrics in French, Ladino, Occitan, Turkish, Macedonian, Bosnian and English language. It was a mixture of troubadour and  catharic music, music of the Balkans and the Islamic cultural impact, to rock'n'roll and contemporary expressions. Promoted with a big concert in Skopje, several concerts in their homeland and across Europe (Venice, Paris, Maribor and Prague) it was their biggest success by then...
But that didn’t stray them away from the need to explore further. Sasho Gigov – Gish, Dragan Stojkovski and Predrag Ikonomovski (member of the group since 2008) decided to make an album that would bring them back to their roots – original songs that anyone could sing under the shower. Back to square one!... and the final result is “Blue Bird”. They were joined by Goce Naumov on drums and Nenad Nedelkov, who contributed two songs and back-up vocals on some of the numbers (both members of the collective since the beginnings), as well as guest appearances from respected Macedonian musicians and friends of the band. It was published in March 2015 and is their sixth consecutive studio album.

 Tone a un parcours musical des plus éclectiques.
Bercé par la musique de ces parents, il s’éveille à la musique avec Bob Dylan ou Elvis… puis il étend ses références musicales des Béruriers Noirs aux Stooges en passant par les Doors. Il se met à fréquenter les clubs au moment où sort le fameux Pump up the Volume de Mars et autre Hithouse ou French Kiss. Il fréquente ses premières raves sur Paris avec Gaia Concept, TBE Trance Body Express côté trance, et Liz An Eliaz, Psychiatrik et Apocalypse côté hardcore.
En 1994, il est de retour dans le département du Doubs, où il crée "Trance Missions" et met en place une série de soirées mythiques se déroulant à bord d’une péniche, à Etupes. Ce lieu unique, la qualité du son présenté ainsi que les divers intervenants artistiques contribuent à la qualité de ces soirées.
