“To American critics, Gershwin sounded exactly like what they wanted to get away from. It was the essence of their own time and place represented musically, just as James Joyce had verbally rendered Dublin in Ulysses. This kind of rendering absolutely had to include the time and place's vulgarity, its flash and its hustle, and what can only be called its gorgeous ugliness. Two years earlier, G.K. Chesterton had pointed out how beautiful Times Square must look to someone who couldn't read, and here was that same thought set to music. If Gershwin's music had been any purer and more correct, it wouldn't have been New York.”

“When you went to your favorite concert and heard your favorite musician singing the body electric, that was it; when you met your love and gazed at each other with shining eyes, that was it; when you kissed your five-year-old good night and she turned to you solemnly and said, "Thank you for loving me so much," that was it: all of them facets of the same jewel.”

“Somewhere, the radio was playing—WCRB again, soft classical. I didn’t register it at first. I was too busy putting my keys down, toeing off my shoes, breathing into the hush. But then the melody changed. Piano. Slow. Familiar. It was Adagio cantabile. Not Joel’s version, with its doo-wop backbone and lovesick harmonies. Beethoven’s. The real thing.”

“Gladiators of the Sun by Sami Abouzid Life before Gladiators of the Sun—my first electronic symphony— was a different world entirely. A world of searching, shaping, and silent dreaming. But the moment I created that first note, everything changed. A new universe opened, one that only I could hear, feel, and bring to life. Gladiators of the Sun wasn’t just music— it was a revolution inside my soul. It gave me my voice. It carved my identity into sound, and lit the path for what would become 300 symphonies, each one echoing the fire that started it all. That first symphony still lives in me— forever in my heart. It was the beginning of the Sami Abouzid style, a sonic language no one else could speak, born from pure vision, emotion, and truth. From that moment on, I never looked back. I created endlessly, fearlessly, passionately— building worlds where others only heard sound. Enjoy my music. Because when you listen, you’re not just hearing notes— you’re hearing the story of a soul that dared to dream. — Sami Abouzid”
