Entering a new dimension with the undefined boundaries not only between history and culture but between time and space, “Zoetrope” transitions us into a new journey of sounds, intriguing and playing with our senses.
Translating his background into a story allows Aeli to narrate his identity and path, creating “Zoetrope”, an autobiographical project.
This opus summarizes the past three decades of Aeli’s motion through three cities and their impact on his perception. It is no coincidence that Aeli’s “Zoetrope” consists of three tracks, guided by three characters, all complimenting and overlapping each other.
Zoetrope contains a large spectrum of sounds from Arabic and Oriental traditional music to Jazz, Rock and Classical, infusing it with Future Beats creating Aeli’s signature Neo Hip-Hop.
