   Let’s discover Gad’s world through his interview for our Factory Asks

 

ARTIST NAME 0026 : Gad Tidhar
BIO

Gad Tidhar was born in Israel in 1983, and his musical education began with the guitar. At the age of twenty-two he bought his first oud, and started to explore the music of Turkey, Persia and the Arab world. He studied Persian music for three years with tar virtuoso Piris Eliyahu, followed by oud with Nizar Rohana, and also travelled to Crete to study Turkish music with Ross Daly. In 2009 he formed the Faran Ensemble with kamancheh player Roy Smila and percussionist Refael Ben-Zichry – the trio released their first album in 2013, have performed as far afield as Germany, the Netherlands and Poland, and even appeared in a video by the band U2! He also founded the ‘Durbar’ trio in 2015, together with Jordi Pratz on sarod and various percussionists, to combine Persian and Indian music. In 2016 established ‘Lucid trio’ with tow musicians from small Mitzpe Ramon. Sigi Yadgar playes the piano and Jacky Fay with the cello.
Gad currently lives in Mitzpe Ramon, in the heart of the Negev Desert.

 We are really pleased to interview Gad for our Factory blog.

01. How did your artistic career begin?

About ten years ago, a friend told me that there is one teacher i must go to. i had just started to play the “oud”. At that time, i was herding camels in the Negev desert. Travelling with 50 camels from place to place. Sleeping mostly outdoor, for about ten days a month, living an ancient version of life. After Reaching the teacher, i have understand that music is what have been searching. I have started to practice as much as i could and compositions started to came. Few years after, with that Roy Smila and Refael Ben Zichry we have founded Faran.

02. What is you work mainly inspired by?

Nature’s silence. Traveling in the desert or any other timeless landscape fills me with  melodies.

03. As an artist what is your maximum aspiration?

Well i don’t know.. i wish i had something like that. I wish to do soundtracks to amazing movies, to keep learning from the ancient traditions.

04. Is there a characterising message related to your work?

Love nature. respect the creation.

05. What does underground mean to you?

Creation moved by inner passion, ignoring functional thoughts and doubts.

06. What are your next projects?

I have some projects that i love and try to promote.
Lucid – the new trio of oud cello and piano
Durbar – the oud & sarod, Tombak & Tabla
and Faran, the first proffesional project i have. Trio wish Kamancha, oud and percussions.
