"This composition is an ode to the intricate labyrinth of one of the world’s largest medinas—Tunis, Tunisia. As I wandered alone through its winding alleys, the uneven cobblestones beneath my feet seemed to whisper and reverberate, as if time itself were suspended in a dense fog of noise and memory.
"The medina pulsed with a multidimensional tapestry of sound. Metallic echoes spilled from shadowed shops, forming a chaotic yet organic symphony. Merchants called out their wares in hypnotic repetition, their haggling rhythms rising and falling like waves. The sharp clang of a hammer striking copper rang out from a hidden workshop, momentarily cutting through the thick air, blending with the guttural cries of stray cats that echoed from unseen corners.
"I sought to capture this sonic landscape, crafting a 360-degree soundscape that immerses the listener in its depths. Ethereal synth layers create harmonics that blend seamlessly with the ambient hum of the city, drifting like mist through the alleys, binding the textures into a spectral whole. It’s as if ghosts step momentarily into the light before vanishing into shadow. Even after leaving, the medina’s sonic imprints remain, whispering and resonating—like a ghostly melody that refuses to fade."
