Interestingly, the common keyword used in the comments on this music was "uplifting". In fact, this is one of the rarest "moods" of music and also hardest to compose. It is really rewarding and, in contrast to other "moods", gives a positive feeling of achievement compared to "sad", "romantic" or "dramatic" for example. Thanks again to all friends and artists who cared to listen to "Jubilant Eg...

The words between brackets indicate that the time of real victory has not come yet. However, artist's view of that atmosphere is ready in the background. When time tells us that the revolution has achieved its full goals then it will have reached real success. Thanks for all fellow artists & friends for the kind support, to both the coun...

Bridge Battle is a totally new music to Egyptian native music. It is more of a soundtrack to a real event, the battle on the bridge "Qasr Ennile", in English means Nile Palace, won by unarmed Egyptian youth against the ruthless armed police forces that used extreme violence to crush the protesters. On the "Anger Friday" police forces retreated & completely collapsed in a few hours of confrontation. They ran away & disappeared from the streets of Cairo, but not without a...

Thanks to all friends & respected musicians in SoundClick. Must mention, that our fiend Falch has predicted this result a few days ago. I wonder how he feels now with his expectation is fulfilled! I received many comments from our dear musician on Arab Spring, all were very encouraging & sincere. I feel I can not do without them. Arab Spring as our friend Alexanderport said is a reflection of Egypt 2012, with the first democratic presidential election ...

The music is a combination of atmospheric & soundtrack sound effects, plus a popular eastern melody that that may reflect the wonderful popularity of these obelisks allover the world.. just about every body loves them and every city wishes an Obelisk stands at its heart!

It simply means it could stand for its sub in the main. I am not sure how new symphonic music may be perceived by listeners nowadays. We used to "define" symphonic works as those extended works by the great classical composers in the last centuries. However, as a type of music, I feel the symphonic structure is one of the best to give the music full dimensional expression, hence it shouldn't really disappear fro...

It's my first symphonic upload to the classical charts. According to friends suggestions, the music sounds more like a movie soundtrack. Well, they have also advised that a bigger orchestra should perform it. I am really glad to hear such comments from our friend artists here. I think without their advice I could feel really lonely. Thanks a lot to every listener who gave their precious time for a...

It has been #1 on Traditional Arabic charts for a while before entering the Top 10 on world charts.. Very pleased to hear the news I am very grateful to all who gave the time & showed the interest.. cheers Fri, 03 Dec 2010 03:21:01 EST http://www.soundclick.com/members/default.cfm?member=eg+music&content=myBlogs&id=81265 http://www.soundclick.com/members/default.cfm?member=eg+music&content=myBlogs&id=80923 eg music (Ousama) November 2010 EG Music new single "Sphinx Dance" on Soundclick & Facebook ..

Good news of course, especially this is the first time one of my songs reach that high on the charts. But to be frank, charting is not really everything. I have listened to many excellent works by talented artists that did not achieve a high chart position. Plus, The very same songs that acquire even a no.1 rank don't stay there forever, Good music will keep its charm wherever & whenever it plays.

Not going to talk about any of my works, I am simply happy because I had more friends here, most of them are artists & to me they are human treasures. I just imagined if it is at all possible that these lovely people could gather in one place in real life. I think it will be one of the most precious human gathering on earth. Thanks to each friend who made me happy by accepting or requesting friendshi...

A bit different from previous EG Music's, more dramatic, may be reflecting a news scene or a tv report. To my surprise, it climbed to Top 20 Classical General in 3 days!

Thanks to every single click of friends here on SoundClick. Making the music, I was thinking of every one on a flight home. How feelings may be, especially after a long time away, I leave it to the music to say... In musical pop genre, music was meant to reach every ear with familiar style, meanwhile retaining the emotional charge usually c...

I never expected a song only a few days on Sound Click charts (world general) to join the top 20 in a 10-thousands-long chart. I am really thankful to all those who cared to listen and appreciate .. You made me feel belonging to you and your taste. Sure this will encourage me to give my best.. Thank you Ousama AFIFI Composer, EG Music Wed, 12 Sep 2007 15:33:34 EST http://www.soundclick.com/members/default.cfm?member=eg+music&content=myBlogs&id=17294 http://www.soundclick.com/members/default.cfm?member=eg+music&content=myBlogs&id=17077 eg music (Ousama) Frankly speaking, I put this title to that piece of music having a plan to make a series of expressional music pieces relating to the atmosphere of the title (or the reverse!). The idea of using expressional music is as old as time but that of the series I claim new. In this case the series would represent modern rythms & styles with a background of ancient Egyptian history. I hadn't a clue that there may be other music works with the same title "Valley of the Kings" That was a complete surpr...

Both belong to what can be genred Modern Classics. I meant to present some modern Egyptian music, in contrast to traditional Egyptian. Yet one cannot think of Egypt without history, or even of history without Egypt. After all, Egyptian history is a good part of the history of mankind. That is how the new music would emerge. Local Egyptian music is quite different. Concurrent is again diffe... Mon, 03 Sep 2007 20:03:48 EST http://www.soundclick.com/members/default.cfm?member=eg+music&content=myBlogs&id=16703
