Joseph Tawadros' 20th studio recording sees him totally solo and in his element. Drawing upon the ancient music tradition of taqasim, Tawadros performs a soulful meditative hour-long improvisation in this tradition. After 20 albums, this will be the greatest feat of solo creativity, a long extended solo work using the Arabic maqam system and the other influences picked up in his 20-year recording career. "For my 20th album, I wanted to be solo. Solitary. Lost within the confines of my beloved Taqasim, the traditional Arabic musical art form of improvisation," says Tawadros. "I wanted to honour the people that have come before me, who have inspired my thoughts, my dreams, my feelings, my musical phrases and directed me on the path I'm on today." Taqasim is the traditional musical art form of improvisation. It is based on the maqam system and shows the prowess of the player through modulations and shifts in modes.

La 20ª grabación de estudio de Joseph Tawadros lo ve totalmente solista y en su elemento. Recurriendo a la antigua tradición musical del taqasim, Tawadros realiza una improvisación meditativa y conmovedora de una hora de duración en esta tradición. Después de 20 álbumes, este será el mayor logro de creatividad en solitario, un extenso trabajo en solitario utilizando el sistema maqam árabe y las otras influencias recogidas en su carrera discográfica de 20 años. "Para mi 20º álbum, quería estar solo. Solitario. Perdido dentro de los confines de mi amado Taqasim, la forma de arte musical árabe tradicional de improvisación", dice Tawadros. "Quería honrar a las personas que vinieron antes que yo, que han inspirado mis pensamientos, mis sueños, mis sentimientos, mis frases musicales y me dirigieron en el camino en el que estoy hoy". Taqasim es la forma de arte musical tradicional de improvisación. Se basa en el sistema maqam y muestra la destreza del intérprete a través de modulaciones y cambios en los modos.

Notes: This landmark 20th album by Egyptian-Australian oud virtuoso Joseph Tawadros is a completely solo work based on the ancient Arabic art of taqasim (improvisation). The entire album was recorded in a single one-take session on March 10, 2023, at Church St Studios in Sydney. Tawadros is an 8-time ARIA Award winner, and this album won the 2023 ARIA Award for Best World Music Album. Born in Cairo in 1983, Tawadros moved to Australia at age three and has become one of the world's foremost oud players, collaborating with artists across classical, jazz, and pop genres including Jack DeJohnette, Joey DeFrancesco, Roy Ayers, and Bela Fleck. The track titles, when read in sequence, form a philosophical meditation or poem about musical tradition and creative legacy. The maqam system referenced is the modal system of Arabic music, analogous to Western scales but with different intervallic structures.
