Wassim Mukdad

**Wassim Mukdad** is a Syrian-French oud player and composer whose music bridges Arabic traditions with contemporary experimentation. Known for his intricate oud work and genre-blending collaborations, Mukdad’s releases like *Farasha* and *Nil-Ufer* showcase his knack for weaving Middle Eastern melodies into cinematic soundscapes, while tracks like *Saint-Saëns: Sonata, Op. 168* highlight his reverence for classical roots. His collaborative spirit shines in remix projects like *Pilgrimage with Snakes* (reimagined by David Rothenberg), proving he’s as comfortable in avant-garde spaces as he is in traditional ones.

With a style that’s both introspective and exploratory, Mukdad’s work—from the haunting *Hira* to the globally inflected *Migrating Tunes*—reflects a musician deeply connected to cultural storytelling. Whether reinterpreting classics or crafting original compositions, his music feels like a dialogue between heritage and innovation, making him a compelling voice in contemporary acoustic and cross-genre artistry.
