AL-Takht Photos
I had the good fortune to be at a rehearsal for Kan Zaman - the Southern California Arabic Music group lead by Wa'el Kakish I've posted lots
of photos here:
http://www.varis.com/KanZaman/index.html
There are lots of shots of Wa'el and Afif Taian playing oud along with others on Ney, Qanoun, various percussion. It is really quite magical...
unforunately I only had a camera with me so you'll just have to image the music.

Effects
Actually the only effects used was a cheap plastic lens thingy!
I was experimenting with this replacement lens that, in essence, turns an expensive SLR into a cheap toy camera - the deamy soft focus effect is the
result!
The photography does match the mood of the music for me – I'm glad you like it!

Ahh! Lee, you just missed me, man. I had midterms this week (which I just finished about 20 minutes ago), so I wasn't able to go to the
rehearsals. I love that group, man. It's the first time I've missed rehearsal in a few months. I can't wait until this Wednesday...
it's as though a piece of my week is just totally missing.

P.S. I hope you had a great time, man. Oh, and the other oudist's name is Moussa. He's great too, man.
