Repetitive beats, loud Mizmar and loads of energy, with a strong influence from psychedelic rock, free jazz and electronica.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDuring the years in which the duo produced 4 albums and performed on an endless number of stages around the globe, PRAED started working on anambitious expansive project: an orchestra that could transpose this study of rural and popular culture into an immense, iconic work. In autumn 2018, supported by the Sharjah Art Foundation, PRAED Orchestra! premiered “Live in Sharjah”, interpreting new material merged with some of the band’s iconic pieces. The composition process started with the choice of musicians: the line-up consisted of some of the most innovative artists coming from a wide spectrum of musical practices. Each musician was chosen for a defined role, and the common denominator was their capacity to interpret written material, and their ability to improvise effortlessly. Each role was clearly set to work in unison with the rest of the group, while simultaneously sustaining a centrality in the choir. Solo parts masterfully drawn over the structure as a fil rouge connecting every piece of the entire concert; massive and powerful orchestral sections leading to a breathtaking trance-like state of mind; all of this material ultimately coalescing into an Egyptian Operette that narrates the sorrow, love, and deeply rooted culture of this urban music called Shaabi.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePaed Conca: Clarinet, Electric Bass, Electronics\u003cbr\u003eRaed Yassin: Synthesizers, Vocals, Electronics\u003cbr\u003eAlan Bishop: Alto Saxophone, Vocals\u003cbr\u003eNadah El Shazly: Vocals, keyboard, Electronics\u003cbr\u003eChristine Kazarian: Electric Harp\u003cbr\u003eHans Koch: Bass Clarinet, Soprano Sax\u003cbr\u003eMartin Kuchen: Tenor Saxophone, Baritone Sax\u003cbr\u003eMaurice Louca: Keyboard, Organ\u003cbr\u003eRadwan Ghazi Moumneh: Buzuk, Vocals, Modular Synthesizer\u003cbr\u003eSam Shalabi: Electric Guitar, Oud\u003cbr\u003eUte Wassermann: Vocals, Mouth Harp, Whistles\u003cbr\u003eKhaled Yassine: Drums, Percussion, Darbuka\u003cbr\u003eMichael Zerang: Drums, Percussion\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRecorded live at Calligraphy Square on November 3rd, 2018 in Sharjah, UAE by: Sudish Suman \u0026amp; Shuaib Ahmad Poonthala\u003cbr\u003eEdited by: Rabih Beaini at Morphine Studio, Berlin, Germany\u003cbr\u003eMixed by: Radwan Ghazi Moumneh at Hotel2Tango Studio, Montreal, Canada.
