Each member of the Bastet Project has a long track record in noncommercial music. The Project’s first piece “Egypt” won TEDxCairo 2014 Artist Competition. Their spectrum of different influences; from Classical and Opera to Latin, Jazz, Rock and Egyptian music, has contributed in making you listen to a brand new experience: Egyptian spirit blended with Western Operatic voice. Their sound is only acoustic: no synths, no electronic sounds, and each instrument is a hero. Their music emphasizes meditation more than entertainment, and will delight both lovers of Western Classical music and Egyptian music Genuine original music blending Egyptian timbre with Western Operatic vocal majesty through modern harmony texture. “Bastet” was a goddess of music in the glorious Ancient Egypt. Created in 2014 by the collaboration of six musicians passionate for music alongside their different studies/careers: Magued (Composer, Piano), Samuel (Oud), Amir (Guitar), Shady (Percussions), Emad (Bass), and Nadine (Soprano). This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx ...more
