Thank you, it is very nice. I will listen it more to enjoy the makam flow.
The sound of the oud is really fantastic, specially the bass strings.
What oud is he playing? Seems an old one, a very old one.
I do not know anything on recording engineerings but it seems to me to be very much worked, resulting in sounds and....no sounds, i mean, silences,
which for me provides a kind of physical breathing.
I feel a very equilibrated (balanced taqsim), with sounds at the right place.
I have to listen it more, it is a slow "food" track.
While visiting his web i read on other oudist called Hazem Chahine, and it seems they both play together.
Thank you and happy that the young generation has many things to say.

My pleasure guys. I also look forward to hearing more from Tarek soon as well. Zalzal, I'm not sure what oud he is playing. We can find out though.
When I do...i'll let you guys know.
Take care,
Mike

Dear Mike,
Beautiful. He's got a great touch, I love his sound, and to me -- he's been listening to some turkish players a bit -- lovely. I second Zalzal's
comments on his oud. Thanks Mike.
Regards..Paul
