Carving: Ceremony (Jam Session)

Carving, From Wood to Music" a project by Luthier Karim Hourani aimed to document the entire journey — from selecting raw wood to crafting three musical instruments, collaborating with a composer and three musicians, and releasing a corresponding album, video, and booklet. This all-inclusive endeavor spans drafting blueprints, engaging in luthiery and fine craftsmanship, progressing through music composition, performance, recording, sound engineering, and collaborations with graphic designers and fellow creative artists, ultimately culminating in the release of the music album and associated project.
