The oldest surviving lute instruments are from the 8th century and were preserved in Nara, Japan. These instruments were brought to Japan from Persia and India via the Silk Road. On the instruments we see images of camels or traders on horseback, which did not exist in Japan at that time, as inlays. In this piece, I combined Maqam Kurd, European phrygian mode and Japanese yin mode. I also used cross-cultural ornaments - Japanese, Arabic, European, etc. and above all, Japanese aesthetics.
You know what would fit well here? There's a Japanese double reed wind instrument descending from the armenian duduk, which was also brought through the silk road. Can't remember its name tho, sorry
Imagine traveling from one side of the silk road to other, each destination feeling more foreign than the last. In our globalised world we cannot imagine how truly alien it must have been.
What a blend this is a tribute to all the merchants from Silk Route who have gifted one melody of one culture to another and ingrained others in their own
I just closed my eyes and visualized a years travel from east to western Asia and the many cultures and caravansary in between. Wonder and peril... a convergence.
Even though the origination of the oud can be traced back almost 5,000 years, the genesis of its modern version appears during the wondrous 8th century Islamic Golden Age. Today its strings resonate, they seem to tremble, in tune with the profound suffering of the Palestinians. We who feel that vibration, -a subtle ripple from a pebble dropped in the pond of our soul, -we too bend to its strings. It is our fate to feel deeply when we think deeply. In quiet moments sitting in the soft candle light of our own conscience listening to your beautiful music makes it oh so slightly more bearable.
This has become one of my favorites from you, right after voyage, the fifth part of your music for resilience series. Thank you for helping me heal and focus!
I am so glad that I found this. You truly are a great artist. I went to Japan this summer with Japanese friends and satyed for a month. Next time I'll visit the museums in Nara with the instruments if the public can see them ! Great work !
Thank you so much! But, please note: These biwas are conserved in the treasury in Nara, but not exhibited. Only for 2 weeks between October and November some of the approx. 9000 treasures are on public display. Unfortunately, Biwa is not always included... So you have to be very lucky to be able to see them.
Great Performance, & It would be greater if the speck doesn't touch both the strands in the string, it needs to be smoother, but really, great performance
Please note: This instrument can only vibrate as you hear it here with the right playing technique. If you simply pluck the strings, you will only get a weak, matt sound... Please watch my video about this topic: ua-cam.com/video/OMm1E54gUr4/v-deo.html

In this piece I use Maqam Kurd, Japanese Yin mode and Phrygian mode. In the second movement of the Concierto de Aranjuez (which you probably mean because the other movements are in major) is written in B minor and the Phrygian mode is suggested. Phrygian mode is the only similarity between the two pieces. Nobody criticizes when two composers use the same key or mode!
As I already commented, I use 3 modes here (read my comment). One of them Maqam Kurd is also popular in Turkish music. But many ornaments and especially expression of emptiness and time comes from my Japanese tradition. But this also has a lot in common with Turkish music (and other music on the Silk Road). In any case, I have a lot of listeners from Turkey. Many thanks to the Turkish listeners!
@@NaoSogabe I am also a listener. I've been to japan I visited Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka. I am someone who is in love with the Japanese people. I have never seen anything like this in Japan's unique music and practices. Thanks

Our baby is napping since 1.5 hours thanks to a Japanese guy playing Oud. The world is beautiful! :)

I have been following you for years. You are, to me, the king of oud. My deep love and respect for you is your noble person.
Yeah playing for so long too defintely a king of ouds!
Thank you so much for your great feedback!

Best medicine music to awaken to, Big blessings to Everyone! Thank you dearly Nao Sogabe
Thank you so much!
Beautiful
Fantastic! Just had a very deep taichi session with your music. Its so strong and transcendental.
Glad you enjoy it!
Quite soothing. I love it. Thank you for sharing your music with us.
omg an actual person instead of AI. Beautiful playing
Thanks a lot! Especially in the field of ambient music, it has become rare for a real person to play...
I'm with you 100%!
I thank you for allowing me to have my thoughts wander aimlessly while listening to this beautiful tune. Greatly appreciated!
I am Iranian, and I love music but do not play any. I could recognize the Maqam Kurd played so smoothly. Thank you for your beautiful creation.
Thank you too!
Thank you for your dedication; I really appreciate it! 🙏🏽💐💐
This has become one of my favorites from you, right after voyage, the fifth part of your music for resilience series. Thank you for helping me heal and focus!
Wow, thank you!
So beautiful, thank you.
I love the combination of the maqam and Japanese mode, really wonderful work ♡
Thank you so much!
Thank you. What a wonderful coincidence - I was teaching my module on Iran, focusing on that period and the Silk Roads, just last week.
I am so glad that I found this. You truly are a great artist. I went to Japan this summer with Japanese friends and satyed for a month. Next time I'll visit the museums in Nara with the instruments if the public can see them ! Great work !

Great Performance, & It would be greater if the speck doesn't touch both the strands in the string, it needs to be smoother, but really, great performance
What do you mean by “speck” and “strands in the string”?
Lovely and heartwarming… thank you, Sogabe-San 💖

As an enjoyer of Rabhi Abou-Khalil myself, maybe one of your better works. A bit more naturally dynamic and pays heed to old Arabic style.
That sure doesn't look like one of those $400 ouds. My guess would be closer to the >$4,000 ouds. I'm sure masterful hands help.
As I said in the videos, it is an ordinary oud costing around 500 euros. The sound is just the result of 30 years of hard work. Please watch my following videos:

Sounds like you are playing Concierto D'Aranjuez by Rodriguez
In this piece I use Maqam Kurd, Japanese Yin mode and Phrygian mode. In the second movement of the Concierto de Aranjuez (which you probably mean because the other movements are in major) is written in B minor and the Phrygian mode is suggested. Phrygian mode is the only similarity between the two pieces.
Nobody criticizes when two composers use the same key or mode!

@@apostos2351 what does asf mean, does it mean sorry from Arabic? As in آسف
