Radio Active Nightmares RAN - Chapter II
By: Rach April Minä
Friday the 13th - A Day which superstition claims to be a day of bad luck. A superstition that holds numerous theories behind it.To some It's a cursed day , To others It's a lucky day .. To Amadeus Awad , It's the key to unlock his Radio Active Nightmares and an invitation for us to be entwined with them.
RAN - the Show was back for a second act on Friday the 13th 2010 at the EM Chill Pub. Only This Time , A special Guest joined the ride to add his own special touch to this spiritual Odyssey.
Introducing the Opening Act of the 2sd Chapter of RAN , The Flemish Pop Rock Star Paul Numi set the night in motion with his Acoustic performance.Paul Numi isn't your average rock artist - He leads a balanced lifestyle between his career as an executive in a major multinational company and his passion for Music.'Keep Dreaming!' is his epigram and dreaming was certainly what we did while he was rocking on his guitar those catchy tunes , giving us a distinguished taste of Britpop.He entertained us with a set of songs from his upcoming album (yet to be released) - Among which Amadeus Joined him on Lead Guitar with his Ibanez JS1200 guitar.This Rock Star really knows how to fulfill our hearing with his utmost voice and the sounds of his Martin Acoustic guitar.What is noticeable about Paul is his choice of wardrobe - a suit and tie combination - projecting a very chic and distinctive look .However, Let's not be taken away by this classic outfit - Paul 's friendliness showed his beautiful spirit as he interacted constantly with the audience. He called upon them to sing along with him , to put their hands together for claps.He also introduced each song with smiles and familiar talks. He wrapped-up his spectacle with an exclusive dedication to Lebanon and Its people with a song called "Get Up".We are surely looking forward to the release of his new album!
Having the mood set properly , Amadeus Awad and His selected musicians hit the stage for their anticipated appearance.As it is an improvisational act , questions and wonderings are drawn on our faces waiting for these strings to unfold those nightmares.That's one of the things that characterizes this event - this mystery that surrounds it.Moreover ,it is worth noting that Improvisational acts tend to be risky as the artist might fall into repetition ; However , that's not the case whatsoever with Amadeus Awad and his refined musicians. They proved themselves one more time as original and creative as well as highly harmonious with each other. This show featured :
Vik Bajak On Bass Guitar.
Patrick Stephan On Drums.
Charles Sawma On Keybords.
These artists put together are a reflection of true musicians and Amadeus's music is a true inspiration to many as he worked his guitars with great passion and talent blending different genres in an experimental set of psychedelic sounds -Spiritual eastern sounds portrayed with a Dark side - the music got in a blue funk at some point and then much heavier at others - depending on the pattern the band was following.Amadeus has a strong bond with his guitars - a very different relation that brings him and his guitars as one the minute he plays these strings. At that moment , the notes are thrown all over the place and they all complement each other to give out the melody he wanted to convey to his listeners - His guitars speak out what his mind is thinking - And this music embraces us in a trippy kind of way ; While listening , people start closing their eyes and go on a captivating trip - he tries stuff and tricks - he's a musical daredevil - His presumptuous melodies are an open-invitation for our imagination to dwell.It is inevitable to mention the way his facial expressions affect us and his entire body language communicates with us.
All of Vik - Patrick and Charles performed unbelievably . The way these musicians interact is remarkable and almost Flawless - Their extemporized performance calls for deep admiration.
EM Chill provided the convenient environment to enrich this experience - the sound was of great quality and the dim lights sweetened the ambiance and rendered it quite gloomy.Amadeus played on his Jem 7V WH and his Ibanez JS1200 guitars. Ones that speak his own language.Three red Candles were displayed in front of the stage reflecting the colors of the sunsets that represent a constant inspiration to him.
the following songs were the ones people recognized from the first Chapter of RAN :
-Radio Active Nightmares.
-April Skies.
-Anthropomorphism.
As it was a supreme joy to hear them once again.
-Silent Moon
-Meteors In The Blue
-Sun Burns.
-Lightning Spell.
These were the fresh essence - the new substance of this Chapter .
Everyone reacted wonderfully to them , that by the time The last one "Meteors in The Blue" came to an end , sighs of infatuation were expressed as everyone longed for more.
After the big success of RAN I , one would expect an even higher rate of attendance for the second chapter. Surprisingly , that night , the crowd was relatively smaller - a much more intimate and personal one .Gathering close friends and selective fans along with the attendance of special guests.
This was a passionate musical ride not to be missed - Amadeus Awad has done it one more time .. It will only get better and better each time as the fierceness of his nightmares increase.Radio Active Nightmares will be back for a third chapter - These mysterious tales will beckon us again - let's follow his music that takes us to places , only our imagination would dare to, with exotic influences and sounds -on the 13th of the coming month.
See you Then.
