Unleash the East: A Mediterranean Surf Primer

“There are other worlds (they have not told you of). They wish to speak to you.” —Sun Ra

Guitarists like Omar Khorshid and Aris San created guitar history as they infused their regional influences with their new love of the electric guitar and brought a new style of playing to life.

Wattie’s bandmate, guitarist Mathieu Ball, had walked by it plenty of times, but one day, he got a notion: It’d be fun to make use of the piano strings still tensed inside the soundboard.
