What you see here is only a test piece, but it carries the direction of everything that comes next.

Lately, I have been questioning every part, every detail, and every quirk so that tradition can speak with greater clarity, strength, and purpose.

This is not a move away from the Oud.

It is its next chapter.

Today, the world of the oud has lost a great master.
For countless hours, your recordings kept me company in the workshop.
May God rest your soul.

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

It often feels that wood is the most precious material of all — not for its rarity, but for the fact that every piece is truly one of a kind. #ούτι #عود
