. ^^^ Grizzly, Thank You so much for introducing Ibrahim! I love that video, and so beautifully produced. I’ve listened to several videos, and I’m really impressed with his understated manner of playing; that’s a real tribute to his excelled training.

It’s stylistically wide-ranging, with Arcade Fire-like uplifting fanfares and sweeping orchestrations, most impressive in the seven-minute sequence ‘The Grind’, in which businesslike synth riffs blend with quirky woodwind and horns before building to an increasingly tense and agitated orchestral conclusion. It may not have quite as many great tunes as The Nutcracker or Swan Lake, but what does?”
