Ralph Chbeir is a experimental musician and composer who released a new album November 6th on Ruptured Records. Chbeir is an architect by day and his approach to music composition is one of calculation, improvisation and meticulous thought into every detail. Chbeir focuses on ambient sound textures, which he then sculpts and molds into sonic expressions of emotion and change. The loops Chbeir creates eventually morph and change course over the duration of the tracks. The new album “Familiar Grounds” exemplifies this approach. Chbeir would revisit moments or places in his life which brought about not only a sense of familiarity but also the realization that things had slowly changed over time. He captures this beautifully on “Familiar Grounds” and it is definitely worth checking out.
