Evoke نَبَط Music Video | Faris Ishaq featuring Maria Yacoob

“Evoke” نَبَط is the second track of the album “Kham” which will be released consecutively in singles and will be available fully in May 2023.

“Kham” in Arabic means “Raw” and refers to everything that exists in its natural state. The raw material of the nay (the sugar cane) inspired Faris with an artistic approach that explores the ultimate and innate performance potential of this minimal instrument, where he adopted this approach in his musical performances and creative productions by way of deliberating and extracting the creative capabilities of any musical data that occurs in explorations, improvisations, and musical pieces to serve the flow of instantaneous music compositions. Throughout the album, Nay Master Faris Ishaq showcases the diversity and versatility of this instrument that has been stigmatized to limited creative expressions, due to its simple form.

The music composition of “Kham” was extracted out of unedited musical improvisations and without borrowing any artificial sounds from the digital library, Faris created “Kham” depending on his performance artistry to create a layered composition of melodic, percussive, cinematic, psychedelic, almost sounding electronic musical layers and effects.
