Thirteen years of making sound, published in public.
The producer half of the practice. Studio breakdowns, sound design walkthroughs, and short-form technique clips — the same instinct for hierarchy and restraint that shows up in the product work.

Fusion Roadmap
The Angry Bird
Where 2,000-Year-Old Music Meets High-Gain Guitar. A fusion project breaking the boundaries between ancient Middle Eastern Maqamat scales and Heavy Metal. Built on 7 essential scales that form a new sonic language — where the Oud meets distortion.
Major / Power
Ajam / Major
Triumphant, anthem-like Metal riffs.
Harmonic Minor
Nahawand / Harmonic Minor
Neo-classical shredding with an Oriental soul.
Natural Minor
Kurd / Natural Minor
Heavy, rhythmic chugging with a dark foundation.
Dark / Phrygian
Hijaz / Phrygian Dominant
The backbone of Oriental Metal — instant tension.
Double Harmonic
Hijaz Kar / Double Harmonic
Evil and exotic under high-gain distortion.
Phrygian / Sultana
Hijaz Kar Kurd
Soulful, haunting melodies over heavy chugging.
Haunting / Diminished
Saba Zamzama
Atmospheric and dark — for intros and breakdowns.
Mystical / Harmonic
Nawa Athar
Progressive edge that keeps the listener guessing.
“Breaking the boundaries between the 2,000-year-old Music and the modern high-gain guitar.”
