The compositions presented on this CD belong to two periods of compositional practices. In the first period (2004–06), Haddad (b. 1972) aimed to achieve a synthesis of Arabic and Western music, without the usual Western gimmicks, i.e. tourism, exoticism or even "abstraction". His goal was true existential and transcendental integration, not a juxtaposition or imposition of one tradition on the other. In the latter period (2007–), the ever-questioning composer has been distancing himself from a direct, existential contact with Arabic culture.
Haddad's music is rooted in his double "otherness" (stranger-ness) towards the West and the Arabic culture (where contemporary music does not exist). Though his "otherness" constitutes the backbone of his compositions, his music tries to 'escape definition when definition is put into place' [Derrida]. Haddad believes that "progress" must depend solely on the force of music resulting from balancing the physical (beauty, magic, energy, tension and virtuosity) and the metaphysical (existentialism, transcendentalism and intellectualism).
