Description :Composer Ahmed Essyad was born in Salé,Morocco, in 1938. After studying music at the RabatConservatoire (Morocco) he moved to Paris in 1962,where he became a student of Max Deutsch and, later,his assistant. Trained in the avant-garde practices of Western musical composition, he also claimed theAmazigh folk music of Morocco as a fundamentalsource of inspiration for his work.

In 1965, he was already incorporating elements of oraltradition in his work so as to question the language ofhis time, and therefore had to cope with the limits ofmusical notation and communication with musicianswho did not share his cultural references. It was difficultto agree on what was implicit, 'behind the notes,'especially regarding the management of musical timeand micro-intervals. In search of new compositional tools,he turned to electro-acoustic music. Working in a studiomade it possible for him to be the interpreter of his ownwork, which ensured a certain continuity with music oforal tradition. The pieces presented here were producedbetween 1972 and 1974 in a studio dedicated toelectro-acoustic music, the S.M.E.C.A, which was partof the Music Workshop founded by Jorge Arriagada inParis. The studio was equipped with EMS and Minimoog synthesizers, a piano, a marimba, a xylophone, as wellas various percussion instruments and a tape delay system.
