- Oud & Lute - King of Instruments -
The origin of the oud belongs to the ancient times and similar instruments were used by the Babylonian and ancient Egyptian. Until today, oud is played as the "king of instruments" in Arabic culture.
The oud found his way to Europe in medieval times and it became "lute". During the Renaissance the lute was also regarded as the "king of instruments".

Thank you for more healing and calming music! May humans survive long enough to learn to coexist en masse.

[@NaoSogabe]

I wish it were so too!

[@muhashames5924]

You are just amazing! As an Arab who grew up listening to the giants of Arab musicians, I find you astonishing!

My soul is so thankful to you. I suffered suicidal thoughts until I found all your masterpieces I don't know it felt everything is worth it whenever I listen ❤️. It is so so relaxing and rooting to mother Earth. All your music is soul inspired. Much much Love from India and from me ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️.

I would be grateful if my music could support you in your life!

Healing vibrations 🙌🏼 Thank you

[@user-pm4yy5hz9z]

I hope you’re still around and stay strong and gentle towards yourself. A source of healing I consultated states working with the inner states is like a full time job. I send you empathy and encouragement, opening up is so great of you. I had that too and voices and automatic impulses telling me this. Believing in beauty and finding in you the reason of “I too am worthy of and bound to happyness and joy, it is my birth right” and “I am not my thoughts or feelings, they and this too shall pass”, these two phrases and music, singing and hugging myself, humming and talking to me in the woods lying on the wood floor helped me a lot. If it may, it shall help you too. Reach out and softly reconnect to you and your feelings and people, step by step, if you can. We and you, are never alone

I live with my mom, uncles and family members who are getting older. I clean the floors, the tables, bathrooms etc.: in arabic culture: the daily underworld is cleaned by younger family members. It is called the daily underworld because it is the "Mundane". Paradise is where the fathers and mothers etc., those family members who are older live: kings and queens in arabic culture, the " Superego", is the older family members that deserve respect. Noagochika embodies these themes etc. very well. He uses, layers, and differe realities etc. to bring home messages maybe inadvertently. Great works. God bless.

[@beenforet5391]

The tone you are able to get from your instrument is just extraordinary. This, coupled with your feeling sense you are able to project, even through my screen, makes great art. Thank you.

[@kaftan1776]

in a world of diverse souls, we find a precious harmony we must bind a symphony of differences, together we weave a poem of peaceful coexistence we must conceive let us set aside our fears and strife embrace the beauty of each other's life respecting the uniqueness, we all possess through understanding, our bonds we caress in a tapestry woven with various strands we learn the grace of open hands different colors and cultures, side by side creating a world where love will reside at the heart of this pursuit, empathy reigns kindness and compassion are the gains for in understanding our shared humanity we can create a world of everlasting unity let's celebrate the melodies we all bring voices of different tones, yet each one can sing for flourishing in diversity, we find our peace embracing one another, all hatred will cease together we can mend the fractures of our time embracing peace's triumph, so sublime for when we choose harmony over resistance we create a brighter world of peaceful coexistence

@@boa1793 Yes but I do put in some effort as I generate these poems to make posters. with beautiful artwork. Part of the effort is to come up with the profound theme, such as a few posters I had made today titled: The Barricades of Time, Halls of Silences, Bridges to the Future and many other that I had made today where each poster's image visually rhymes with the poem in question. I had posted many other poems on this site and made it amply clear that the poems were AI generated.

[@mgigelli820]

The "Ma" is a Japanese garden and landscape design concept, which deals with the relationship between the inside and the outside spaces. And the treatment of that transition between them, is so important to a successful design for the Japanese, that they dedicate a lot of thought to it, as well as the attention to the finest detail, using a whole pallet of materials, plants, colour and textures, and fragrances, which give each space a unique quality, and how all the different spaces relate to each other within a harmonious whole. Although In the music of Sogabe it isn't Japanese, the concept of Ma seems to be applied all over it; the space between two notes is just as important as the notes themselves, which provoke a series of different, but yet harmonious emotions felt when hearing the way he plays them. As some Scottish friends used to describe the Scottish melancholic way of being; "Enjoying being miserable", but that's just to have a laugh, they mean that without being a masochist, there is always a feeling of pleasure, out of what seems poignant and moving, and that's poetry and beauty.

[@NaoSogabe]

Thanks a lot for your detailed description! We have the same concept as "Ma" in all art forms in Japan. In music, we call it "Ma-ai". In this way, we create the desired space with the sounds.

[@mgigelli820]

​@@NaoSogabethanks for confirming it, I knew about this Japanese concept exactly 30 years ago, and it really helped me understand many things about spatial design, and creating harmonious spaces, and it is no surprise that it is applied to all forms of artistic expression in Japan. In my country of origin Algeria, (Watashiwa Algerin des) Oud is played in many musical styles, but the one that reminds me of your style in spirit, although less in the form, it is called Foundou from Southern-Western Algeria (Béchar) the gate to the Sahara desert, a unique style inspired by the suffering of the local miners, but also the immensity of spaces and landscapes of that region, and the impressive sensations it provokes. Its initiator and best interpreter is Called "Alla" short for Abdelaziz Abdallah. It differs somehow from Arabic Oud because of its Berber/African origins, I hope you'll find it interesting. Greetings, and God bless you and your beautiful music.

harmony unveiled our inner skies can lose their light in moments of doubt and of despair yet within the shadows, a hidden might a symphony awaits, tender and rare notes woven like threads of stardust strings plucked by celestial hands melodies that cradle hearts robust guiding us to where hope expands in the hush of midnight's embrace a piano whispers secrets untold its ivory keys, a cosmic grace unlocking chambers where dreams unfold

[@kaftan1776]

and the violin weeps with longing its bow tracing arcs of solace echoing tales of love and belonging uniting souls across time and space guitar strings hum with ancient fire strummed by calloused fingers, wise they bridge the chasms of desire binding hearts beneath starlit skies so let the music weave its spell as we gather 'round the fire's glow voices rising, harmonies swell together, we find solace and flow
