French electronic music composer based in London. Downtempo | Ambient | Dark | Orchestral | Alternative | Epic | Experimental. 3 albums released so far.

Hello “Soundclouder” and welcome to my world!
I am an independent electronic music composer in London. I released my two debut albums - "Hemispheres" and "Consumer Spirit" - simultaneously in October 2010. In December 2012, I released my third album "Rise & Fall".
My main passions are electronic music, film music and middle-eastern music.
I compose “concept albums”. I like to use a fairly vast array of influences and moods, ranging from ambient and progressive/experimental atmospheres to more upbeat and ironic tones. My approach is quite “cinematic” in the sense that I usually think of a story, images and then compose the music around it, limiting myself to the chosen concept. The story really drives the sound textures I use.
I am always interested in meeting people of different artistic horizons, whether it is for potential collaboration or just to share artistic experiences and ideas.
I am also looking to form a band and in particular looking for a keyboardist, guitarist and drummer. I’d like the live performance to have as much space as possible for improvisations.
Other forms of collaboration are open, whether you are a singer, or play some other instrument, or if you are film maker.
Offline is cool, online is fake. Music can not be reduced to a set of mp3s!
So feel free to get in touch!

YaSeeDee ياسيدي is an Arabic Expression used as a warm way to greet friends and literally means: “Oh SIR”.

YaSeeDee’s music can be best described as electro-rock with a Middle Eastern touch.
The band from Ferrara, northern Italy, was founded by the Lebanese Singer and composer Chadi Dalaty in 2006, when he chose to fuse his western and Arabic music backgrounds together.

Incisive distorted guitar riffs, Arabic percussion grooves, electronic drum machines, traditional melodic Arabic and ethnic instruments, Synth bass lines, electric Bass leaping from clean to pumpy and highly processed bass sounds combined together with Chadi’s chameleonic vocals, all represent YaSeeDee’s music.

Since their debut in June 2006 at the famous TV show “Roxy Bar”, YaSeeDee have received great public response.
They won first place at the Emergenza International Music Festival in 2009, becoming best Italian Band, and then represented Italy at the Taubertal Festival in Rothenburg Germany at the International final where they successfully finished in third position.
