Kriege wurden fast immer als Lösung angesehen. Kriege lösen keine Probleme. Kriege bringen Kummer und Leid über die Menschen. Unschuldige Männer, Frauen und Kinder werden getötet. Ich hasse Krieg. Für mich gibt es keine Ursache, die stark genug ist, einen Krieg zu rechtfertigen. Erster Satz: Moses Berge und HöhlenZweiter Satz: Arabischer Dritter Satz: Keine Angst, es ist NUR fürchterlich. |

| 2012 | Ultras | Electronics | For E-Cello and live electronics. Program notes: The work starts with Bassem Youssef’s voice, an Egyptian surgeon and broadcaster, saying “Those dead young men were not just football fans; they were standing as men in the field and out of it. Their guilt was saying the word of truth, whilst many others surrendered early. Righteous men who kept their word until their death”. Following it, an original cheering sound from a previous football match which says: “When I stop cheering, I would definitely be dead”. In the back ground, there is a recording of part of the piece “Ultras” as a playback with a deformation “alienation ” technique accompanied with Ostinato sound from the cello playing the same rhythm of the previously heard cheering. The main themes of ULTRAS depend on four figures: 1. Figure: Rhythmic figure of the Ultras cheering accompanied. 2. Figure: MICRO-CLUSTER TONES coming from long tones produced from the cello in a range of quarter tones “up-down” with computing development for this creation. 3. Figure: Arabic themes; based on an Arabic Maqam, which is called SABA. 4. Figure: Catastrophic sound creations. This piece reflects the panic, fear, escape, chaos and agony which happened when hundreds of thugs brutally attacked peaceful football fans killing 74 of them and injuring hundreds with no ambulance vehicles near by to give any help, even the closer ones ran away from the area leaving the young men alone to face death and bleed to death. |
| 2012 | Lisztomania | Orchestral | Commissioned werk: Josef Haydn Konservatorium in Burgenland für 40. Jahr Feier des “Josef Haydn Konservatorium in Burgenland” sowie zum 200. Geburtstag von “Franz Liszt” Symphonisches Gedicht Programm Noten: Franz Liszt ist ein burgenländischer Komponist, der sehr weit gereist ist. Ich auch! Doch er war nie in Ägypten! Lisztomania ist “begeistert von Liszt”, dass in meine Sprache bedeutet “verrückt Liszt”. Ich habe mir gedacht, dass ich etwas verrücktes machen muss: Was ist wenn er “Franz Liszt” neben der Pyramiden lebt?Sich mit einer Mumie zum Tee trifft und eine Reise mit dem Kamel durch die Sahara macht? |

| 2011 | El-Tahrier Platz | Orchestral / Ensemble | For 16 instruments and A440 Hz oscillator Program Notes Die ägyptische Revolution wurde durch elektronische Medien sowie Facebook, Blogger, Twitter usw…. gestartet. Die dabei entstandene Dynamik war einfach unglaublich. Mit dem „sine wave „wird der elektronische Abruf produziert und gibt den „ Ton A = 440Hz“ wie in jedem Orchester, Die Stimme gibt die Stimmung im Orchester an auch so wie die Demonstranten dem Aufruft am El-Tahreer Platz folgten. Nach dem sich die Demonstranten am El-Tahreer Platz gesammelt haben, versuchte jeder seine eignen Wünsche mit seiner Stimme der Öffentlichkeit mitzuteilen „aber nicht für das Land-Ägypten“ , wie das einzeln einspielen im Orchester. Als Mubarak versuchte mit Gewalt gegen die Demonestraten vor zu gehen, begann das Volk mit dem gemeinsamen Ziel für das Land Ägypten zu demonstrieren, danach hört man die verschiedenen Themen der Aufrufe von El-Tahreer Platz, dadurch entsteht eine Einheit „ Wieder A= 440Hz. UNISON“, Das Volk verlangt das MUBARAK geht aber er sagtet: „ Ich habe Demokratie betrieben, ich mache weiter damit“. Das Volk ist mit diesen Worten nicht einverstanden, sie wollen MUBARAK nicht mehr sehen denn 30 Jahre Unterdrückung und Korruption ist genug, das Volk hat nicht aufgegeben und MUBARAK „geht“ endlich. Diese besondere Demonstration veranlasste, nach der erfüllten Forderung, das Volk den El-Tahreer Platz zu reinigen und zu putzen das in der ganzen Welt große Bewunderung brachte, durch diese friedliche Demonstration konnten 30 Jahre Unterdrückung eines Volks beendet werden. Zum Schluss bleibt nur der elektronische Klang als Albtraum für die weitre Regierung. Er erinnert immer daran welche Kraft die elektronischen Medien entwickeln können. Nur ein elektronischer Klang kann eine besondere Demonstration auslösen wie am El-Tahreer Platz. |

Clip 3: I thought his kiss is the meaning of life itself, but the damn kiss was like swallowing toxins from his lips, the lucky women, that still outside this dirty grave, are hating me, they believe, that I did get this honor to be here. Clip 4: I handed him me as a depositary lamb, to be able to slay me as he likes, but I discovered later, that I was extremely stupid, he returned to the original controlling nature and avoided what I felt, he acquired the rights of surrender myself to him, he has ignored me again and brought me to be under his darkness controlling, just to take what he wants, without giving me what I want. |

The brain of a baby of course.The seventh Day: In the tradition of the Egyptian people, there is a very important celebration: the Seventh Day or Al-Sepouo. It is believed that it is the best day to know that a newborn baby is now in our world, which is celebrated by beating on mortar and laying it in an activated sieve. Normally, this celebration takes place between the afternoon and sunset. Seven types of crops are used (maize, rice, wheat, kidney bean, fenugreek, lentils and beans) as a bed for the baby. Then they are scattered over the heads of the guests. The celebration begins by the mother bringing the baby and circular dances with song.

Always we see the same scene of ambulances collects scattered Corpses in various parts. this scene always telling us about a tragedy, telling us about the strength of the human suffering from the war scourge, it always reaffirms and confirm that the war mean’s nothing but the life itself. 2nd. Movement (Allegro Agitato) – Flash Back: As events rapidly with the disasters, second movement tells us the story of the strong warrior, the person who always gives the order, to let the war starts, although it was always a tongue’s dance, but it’s always like an ugly dance, the dance, which kills a thousand of innocents. The dance transited from tongue’s movement, to be the dance of the death, which has effected to escape the soul from the live human ground objects |
