Dear friends,

I wanted to share with you a new EP I just finished, called Dune Riders.
It’s a collection of five instrumental pieces, all built from the same seed: an old track called Scheherazade.

The original was just a small vignette for oud, zither, and flute exploring the A harmonic minor scale and this kind of Middle Eastern storytelling feeling. I didn’t know it at the time, but that little melody had more to say. So I started revisiting it, reworking it, and letting it evolve into new directions.

Over time, each remix turned into a kind of scene, a part of a larger journey. A caravan crossing a desert. A dance beneath the stars. A mirage. A lost oasis. A moment of silence under the midnight sky. That’s what Dune Riders became to me: a slow and cinematic travelogue through imagined landscapes. 

As always, thanks for walking this path with me, even when the road is made of sand and sound.

Warmly,
Skeeboo

Available on every streaming platform and as a digital download on Bandcamp, here's what you'll find inside:

• Dune Riders - is a steady, cinematic ride through endless dunes, with echoes of zither and ney wrapped in downtempo rhythms. Built around a reimagining of the Scheherazade motif from a previous composition, it mixes Middle Eastern melodies with a laid-back groove that feels like the slow travel under the sun of a caravan in the sand

• Silken Veil - The caravan stops, the night falls, and veils start to dance in the wind. You’re not moving, but things are still unfolding: campfire light, soft fabrics catching the breeze, stories exchanged in whispers.

• Mirage Unfolding - You think you see something real on the horizon… but it keeps changing shape. That tension between what we chase and what we actually find is what inspired this piece.

• Phantom Oasis - inspired by the feeling you get when you wake up from a dream you didn’t want to leave. You might think you’ve found what you were chasing, but it flickers and fades.

• Sands at Midnight - Enjoy a moment to sit with the silence before the next story begins.
