ALEPH – Dance of Sands (2024)

Aleph was born in Ehmej, Lebanon. He discovered music at the age of 3 when he was given a small old wooden piano. Reconstructing familiar tunes from such an early age, he was able to grasp occidental melodies while oriental tunes eluded him. He persevered and finally discovered what was missing: the “quarter tone”, a basis of oriental music. His parents who saw his potential finally got him his first “real” piano.

A genius autodidact, Aleph discovered music at the age of 4. At such a young age he would already play tunes by ear. He developed his talent to become a pianist but also a composer and arranger. As a pianist, Aleph is mostly known for his fingering ability, his rhythmic play and his easiness in improvisation and adaptation.His wide experience has made him cover all styles. But yet, his hybrid oriental style and harmonies mixed with western world music is what defines him and makes his sound rich, exotic and catchy.
