Legend of the Sands أسطورة الرمال

Overview

Legend of the Sands is a cinematic composition inspired by the legend of Iram and the story of Abdullah bin Qilaba, who journeys into the desert in search of lost camels and encounters a legendary city of extraordinary palaces, gardens and treasures.

The music is constructed as storytelling without images. It begins with the scale and mystery of the desert, expands into a more fantastical musical world as the discovery unfolds, and ultimately returns to the atmosphere of memory and legend.

Composed and produced by Ahmed Almusawi, the work uses cinematic musical language as a form of narrative, allowing the listener to construct the visual world in their own imagination.
