at last i have started what i always wanted to do. working on a music and making a short film. i spoke with halim who has recently brought to gether few people and they practice every wednesday in a studio in jumeirah beach road. i went there two weeks ago. i have to say that the guitarist and himself who play bass where quite good. and he practices a lot, which means he is serious. the fusion guy was ok i guess but he was not respecting the guitar player when he was doing his solo. for me, in blues (they play blues), solo is a solo, there shouldn't be additional noise at the back. and he was just murmuring with his saxophone. butthe wost part of the jam session was the drummer. he was ok in technic but he should have probably rehearsed for limp bizkit. blues to me is all about simplicity and purity. the way he played was just simply not fitting in. he excessively accossorised the whole tune and it was not nice. halim and the guitar player talked to him, but it appeared that he just won't get it.

the tuesday befiore i came, i had a short chat in a shisha house with alex. alex is a good friend but hardly seen, recently graduated from art school in UAE. he's a good photgrapher with good perspective and vision who can direct and has directed short films. he showed me few clips of his. quite impressive. and i also really liked his clip in his last show. the idea of short film goes bacl way bakc but it took me probably few years to find a convincing subject and idea to work on. the moment that the idea and subject came to my mind, there was no hesitation to think of alex to partner me in the project.
i discussed it with few and everyone seems so hyped that wanna help as well, which is a good sign. when i talked abou the initial details and how i intend to do that, he was interested as well. nima was also quite excited about the idea and teh whole concept. i guess i have already put a good team together.

so i am now working on the script and sequence one. i am so lookng forward to it. the first production, sounds nice.

today is the weekend. i have loads to do. go to LCM again. study, work on lyrics, work on study. it's good. maybe i go to my first libya house party too.
let see.
