Solo Oud - Music in a lost place

This video was recorded by my friend Mateo Matiz.

It's been a few years since the recording.
I hadn't posted the video because I was somehow unsatisfied with my music. Now, I rediscovered the videography and find it simply beautiful, and I want to share it with you. The two pieces of music are my own compositions titled "To Ara Dinkjian" and "Awakening."

The place where we recorded the video is an old wool combing mill in the northern part of the city of Bremen. It is a vast area with huge factory buildings where nearly five thousand people were employed at the time. It was the largest company of its kind worldwide for a long time. It had branches in Istanbul, Australia, and New Zealand. It was finally closed in 2009.

I really hope you like it.
Enjoy
