„Immerse yourself in the groundbreaking fusion of funk and avant-garde with ‚Hyperbolic Funk‘ by Jana Semaan & Scarlett Saad. This track expertly blends funk’s lively rhythm with avant-garde complexities, of the 20th century such as the 12-tone technique. Jana’s enchanting cello layers and Scarlett’s vibrant keys and bass create an accessible yet innovative sound. Abe’s curated lyrics, inspired by the structured and less emotional nature of the 12-tone technique, add a captivating layer, amplifying the track’s depth. Join this musical journey – ‚Hyperbolic Funk‘ is a dynamic transformation for your playlist!“

Music: Snarky Puppy - What About Me by @jana4cello

In weniger als einer Woche darf ich gemeinsam mit einer großartigen Freundin und Musikerin, Anna Scholl, ein Sonatenprogramm in Händels Geburtsstadt spielen, und zwar an demselben Ort, an dem auch Mitglieder der Bach-Familie und Scheidt musiziert haben. Genau für solche musikalischen Begegnungen haben wir diesen Beruf gewählt: Momente, in denen sich musikalische und menschliche Verbundenheit auf höchstem Niveau begegnen. by @jana4cello

Music gives you more than sound — it gives you memories.

Bucharest gave me the joy of recording a premiere written and dedicated to me by Naji Hakim.
A few days ago, it became part of the world.
Still smiling about it 😌
