About Me

An Egyptian composer and producer living in the beautiful New Zealand. Reads a lot of academic books and works part-time for the University of Canterbury's Sociology & Anthropology Dept. Has what seem like unrealistic goals and ambitions he is unwilling to abandon. 22 years old. etc... He does not have many dark sides. Loves writing, music, philosophy, sociology, art and some related things. Thanks to anyone who listens or looks or communicates.All the music on this page consists so far of demos. More to come if I work and behave. Sorry if I neglect to reply to any messages. I do reply to the vast majority.My first release, drafts for His Serene Majesty, will be almost album length and will be distributed for free and in full over the Internet. A CD should also be available for purchase by those who may wish to support my work. I hope you enjoy!Click to comment on the contents of this page - Ola-abaza youtube - a

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 5/29/2007
Band Website: I will get one when I can afford it.
Band Members: This is not a band. All composition, production, digital imagery and sound design by Ahmed Tarek Abaza. Ola-abaza.
Influences: Autechre are the musical masters. Bjork is the Queen of Everything. Laurie Anderson automatically counts as having coined every word she ever used in her work! (Even 'the' and 'and'.) Jean Michel Jarre's many moments of, mad but easy on the eye (ear), brilliance helped provoke my interest in electronic music and multimedia. Philip Glass, Aphex Twin, and Boards of Canada deserve extreme amounts of respect for their work. Jaques Derrida and Ludwig Wittgenstein were geniuses of the highest order.(Note: some of the above is silly though still somehow accurate. For example, technically the Queen of New Zealand is Elizabeth II, not Bjork. Also, Laurie Anderson did not really coin the word 'the').
Sounds Like: The cultures of Ahmed Tarek Bahgat Soliman Atia Boghdady Abaza. Ola-abaza.
Record Label: I hope to share my music everywhere on the planet.
Type of Label: None
