Back again!


Well guys, this thread is definitely going the way I want :)

Sydney welcome back ya 3arees, and alf mabrouk. Ur piece was wonderful, and again I am having this craving to listen to it every day :D Hopefully u will support the threads to come with your contributions. I like the part where u included "Al Nahr el Khalid" (I'm not sure about the title but I think it is). Waiting for news from the stork ;)

Brian I like ur pieces (2 contributions better than 1 :D ). I liked ur taksim a lot, and u included most of the switches in maqams in it. Ur noodling (I feel hungry now) wasnt bad either, hope we'll get to hear more noodling from u ;)

Zeyad, my "student" ur were great too, and u got the maqam right as well. Sorry i didnt have time to post the details but I will do it as soon as I find time, coz everything is hectic here.

Revaldo, I cannot help u with the first question, but with second I can try to clarify. U can use Windows' Sound Recorder, if u have a good mic u wont have much problems, but u can also download fro internet different recorders, I cannot tell which, but maybe other guys can help. I have a special program that came with my soundcard installation (AvRack).

As for the maqam of the next month, I am not sure exactly how u prefer, would u like that we start on the beginning of the month with the new maqam, or simply wait till 15th of July (one month after the previous post started)? Lee, I wanted to suggest either Hijaz or Ajam, coz they are kind of easier for beginners, with no quartertones. Kurd also is good, but I think we already had a thread with lots of it. Should we go for a poll to decide which maqam? I think it's a better idea, we'll choose one out of three or four, and next month we'll keep the other ones in the poll and add a new one to replace the chosen one.

As for me, I decided that I can find some time for another recording, I had to do in two segments coz the mic wasnt stationed to pick my voice well, I hope the splicing won't sound too evident. Hope y'all will like it.

Peace y'all!!

Yours truly,
Basel :D

I guess everything didn't workout as well as I thought. I'm trying to figure out why my file won't attach.

If someone out there knows why I can't attach the file, please let me know. I hit browse and placed the address to the file in the attachment field and hit submit but it didn't show up. The file is about 4 mb so I don't think it's too large.

Actually Revaldo, 4 Mb is very large, I believe ur attachment shouldn't exceed 1 Mb. I believe Mike can help, all u have to do is try to mail him the file (hope ur reading this Mike).

Lee and Zeyad, thanx a lot for ur comments :) Farido is the best at Oud and singing, that's why I enjoy playing and singing for Farid. Hope y'all will post as well.

Guys, when do u think the deadline for the poll should be? How about 10th of July? Gives us some 5 days to prepare for the new maqam.

Peace y'all, and keep on playing.

Yours truly,
Basel :D
