Alaa Arsheed (musician and composer, from Siria) had a dream 7 years ago of a tour with music. In 2015 he met with Isaac de Martin (musician and composer, from Italy) and they developed a Tour in the Balkans to meet people, record music with them, make and album, do arts, use colors, bodypaiting and performances and make a documentary!!
The name of the album is SEEDS, at each stage of our journey we will meet with talented and true artists, we will record them playing, we will jam together, and collect a huge repertoire of sounds and samples. Once back in Italy we will produce the music album.
The name of the documentary is I PLAY WITH MOZART: each human has a talent and with the tour we want to discover these talets and do arts with them. Arts will be not only music (and the album SEEDS) but paiting, theater, performances.
We will meet the people in the cities, at the country sides, in monasteries (Kloster), in the refugee camps... everywhere!
With this tour we want to cross the Balkans and mark a map of hope and beauty.
We will go through Italy, Slovenia, Austria, Hungary, Romania, Serbia, Bulgaria, Macedonia and Greece.
The journey will take about 30 days heading down to Greece where we will give a big event where artists from all over the world are invited to join.
We want to realize a documentary about this journey, about this period of time, our dreams and about how arts can easily connect people to each others. We will do it with music, paint, dance, poetry and film making.
We need to buy a camper, set up a basic music studio inside for the recordings, with us 2 DOP/videomaker will come and document the journey to then cut the documentary I PLAY WITH MOZART that will be then distribuited in Film Festivals and Cinemas.
At each stage of our journey we will plant an APPLE TREE.
