Band Members: Ousama AFIFI, EG Music composer & lyricist, from Alexandria, Egypt. Started composing at the age of 20 and continued.
Expressional music is his aim & style. Studied classical music at Alexandria Conservatoire & eastern music theory (maqamat). His father was a known composer & professor of oriental music in Alexandria music institute.
In his opinion no true music can contain no melody, however, melody should not be the name of the game, there are so many ways of expression enough to make the tunes live, catching, unexpected & still memorizable.
He finds theatrical / movie music & public events / festivals good fields to fulfill expressional goals.
He performed many live shows as a conductor & choral leader presenting his own music & sometimes classical oriental works. His music is currently published in several web sites. He is also managing a few critic-type sites.
Influences: World Classical Music, Eastern Classics, Pop Music
