PHARAONIC, emerges as the cornerstone of the "Mythical Sands" album, transporting listeners to the heart of ancient Egypt's mystique. Crafted within the Hujaz Kar musical maqam, this track embodies the very essence of a bygone era. A seamless blend of the harp's celestial tones, the Rababa's resonant new Egyptian harp notes, the flute's ethereal whispers, and the Mezmar's haunting timbre creates an auditory tapestry that mirrors the grandeur of Pharaohs' courts. Set against the rhythmic backdrop of the "Timpani Orchestra," the track mirrors the regal cadence of an ancient procession, infusing every beat with historical significance.

ARATASIA, the second jewel within the "Mythical Sands" album, embarks on an enchanting journey that defies musical boundaries. This track unfurls its mesmerizing tale through the eloquent voices of Qanun, Oud, Flute, and Violin, instruments that seamlessly interlace to forge a symphonic tapestry of rare splendor. Drawing from the distinctive FOX rhythm, "ARATASIA" entwines itself within the intricate Maqam of Naw Athar and Ajam. Intriguingly, the term "Ajam" aptly encapsulates the essence of this track, it defies conventional oriental norms by embracing a melody that seems to transcend cultural borders. The result is an extraordinary composition that delicately balances the familiarity of oriental instruments with an irresistibly exotic allure. "ARATASIA" captures a rare harmony, reminiscent of a linguistic mosaic where foreign words are given voice through familiar tongues.

FARHA, the third gem nestled within the "Mythical Sands" album, casts a radiant spell, channeling jubilation and optimism through every resonant note. This composition emerges as a sonic tapestry meticulously woven by the melodic threads of Oud and Violin. However, what sets FARHA apart is the audacious innovation with which the Qanun is employed. A groundbreaking departure from its traditional role, the Qanun is plucked and strummed, as if it were a Guitar, ushering in a symphony of chords hitherto unexplored. This track finds its rhythm in the Songo pattern, infusing each note with an infectious groove that beckons the heart to dance. Rooted in the Nahawand Maqam, renowned for its emotional resonance, FARHA is an embodiment of joy, tenderness, and boundless optimism. It weaves a tapestry of emotion, capturing moments of elation and the pure essence of heartfelt happiness. As the Qanun gracefully steps into a new role, "FARHA" becomes a harmonious testament to the uncharted territories that music can explore, crafting a jubilant melody that resonates deeply with the human spirit.

AYOUB unfolds to the rhythm of Ayoub, a cadence that has reverberated through religious chants and Sufi sessions, evoking a meditative introspection. It mirrors the monologues of the heart—expressions that neither wallow in complaint nor cry out in despair. Instead, the track becomes a sanctuary for inner contemplation, a sanctuary where the Flute and Torah intertwine to craft a melody that speaks to the core of human experience.

SAIDI, the triumphant finale within the "Mythical Sands" album, transports us to the vibrant heart of southern Egypt's cultural tapestry. This track reverberates with the harmonious convergence of Rababa (harp) and the soulful Mezmar, a beloved instrument that echoes the spirit of this region. Resonating with the Egyptian Saidi rhythm, SAIDI invites us to embrace the vivacious energy of the Tahteeb dance—a tradition characterized by spirited movements with sticks and horses. Enveloped by the resounding embrace of the Hijaz and Bayati Maqam, SAIDI becomes a jubilant anthem of joy and mirth. The Bayati Maqam, renowned for its ability to stir the heartstrings of listeners, compels heads to sway and spirits to soar. As the Rababa and Mezmar join forces, this track transforms into an exuberant celebration of life, inviting us to partake in the vibrant festivities of southern Egypt. SAIDI stands as a testament to the unifying power of music, bridging cultures, and generations, as it exuberantly encapsulates the heart and soul of a timeless dance that has danced through the ages.
