Tree9
Production of Tree9’s first album, “Tree9” (Road)
The album is an extension of the band’s previous work, “wra hdoud al saed” (Beyond the norms) produced in late 2017. The music is set to texts by Nebil Mannai, describing emotional states in the process of questioning behavioural and religious norms. It is an invitation to relativism, to question absolutes and prejudices. The members of Tree9 are passionate about polyrhythm, the synthesis of emotively and aesthetically contrasting rhythms, because this synthesis connotes relativity and unexpected compatibilities.
