Ibrahim Maalouf: Questions and answers

February 5, 2013 By guillaume

“Questions and Answers” is another song from Ibrahim Maalouf taken from Wind (2012), his latest release. Once again, the quarter tone trumpet allows the musician to create a lovely hybrid music that spans across several genres:

I have with me an instrument that reflects exactly what I would like to say […] I believe my music is just a combination of everything that I love. I love jazz, I love Arabic music, I love classical music and hip-hop and rock and hard rock music, electronic stuff. All those music are part of what I am.  (Ibrahim Maalouf in Istanbul)

“Wind” as the soundtrack to a silent film

Back in 2010, the French Cinémathèque commissioned the musician to compose a soundtrack for “La Proie du Vent” (The Prey of the Wind), a 1927 silent film by René Clair which was about to be re-released. Recorded in one take, Wind is the end result. Such a project of course brings to mind Miles Davis’ score for Louis Malle’s Lift to the Scaffold (1958). But the homage is obvious here as Ibrahim Maalouf dedicated “Wind” to Miles.
