“Halim El-Dabh was one of those rare singular souls whose life
and work moved too quickly and gracefully to ever be captured
by any ‘isms, movement, trend or market… I was lucky and
honoured to make music and a friendship with him,” says Sam
Shalabi.
The audio piece Figment Of A Date is a sonic memento of
the week that Sam Shalabi spent with Halim working on music
and spending time with him in Montreal. In its essence, it is
not so much “about” music, but tries to express the strange,
loving and ancient/futuristic soul of Halim, and how it was such
a touching and transformative privilege to be in his presence.
However, in this performance, Sam is aiming for something
different: he is interpreting a few of Halim’s early pieces (It is
Dark and Damp On the Front, Layla and the Poet) for solo oud.
This is connected with Shalabi's early Free Jazz “standards”
interpretations for solo oud and he is aiming to extend this
the idea to Halim’s music while wondering: “I think, Halim would
appreciate it.”
