An Arabic-speaking Christian, Saed Haddad, a Jordanian composer who was born in 1972, can be said to be a sort of “border obliterator”. His music, extremely refined and poetic, is at the junction of the European and the Middle Eastern worlds. Otherness is the backbone of all his works. At the heart of his writing, perfectly mastered, he manages to spare contrasts. To near-violent exchanges, he opposes incredibly beautiful diaphanous textures in a fascinating sound theatricalisation.
