Along with fellow musician Miles Jay, Hamdan combined a wide variety of instruments &#8211; including a Buzuk, guitalele, kalimba, melodica, Lyra, accordion, contrebass, and percussion &#8211; to create the main theme. The result? A stimulating melody rife with gypsy and Arabic texture, emotionally stirring and musically genius. <\/p>\n<p>  Smoothly combing the oddest of instruments, Hamdan creates a round trip through his music &#8211; so much so that if you really close your eyes and listen you&#8217;ll be able to see blurry images of trees and buildings fading as you travel by. And at the end of it all, when you open your eyes, you&#8217;ll realize that you never actually went anywhere to begin with. And just like that, you&#8217;re back where you started.<\/p>\n<p>  For those interested, feel free to stream or download Hamdan&#8217;s work <a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/zeidhamdan\/round-trip-theme-1\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\">here.<\/a> It&#8217;s definitely worth it. <\/p>\n<p>  <i>The film will be screened at the Dubai Film Festival on Decemeber 11 and 13.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Popular composer and musician, Zeid Hamdan, has just added another accomplishment to his
