Fady Abi Saad, in Arabic فادي أبي سعد (born June 7, 1980), better known by his stage name Aleph Le Piano De L'orient, is a Lebanese pianist, composer, arranger and entrepreneur.〔http://www.8eart.com/the-artists/〕 He is the owner and Art Director of 8ͤ Art Entertainment.〔(8ͤ Art Entertainment Official website )〕〔(8ͤ Art website - The Artists )〕 == Background and education == Aleph was born in Ehmej, Lebanon. He discovered music at the age of 3 when he was given a small old wooden piano. Reconstructing familiar tunes from such an early age, he was able to grasp occidental melodies while oriental tunes eluded him. He persevered and finally discovered what was missing: the "quarter tone", a basis of oriental music. His parents who saw his potential finally got him his first “real” piano. Passionate about sounds, Fady Abi Saad wanted to express Oriental melodies through an Occidental instrument, the piano, with no artifice or subterfuge. During the Lebanese Civil War, Aleph and his family left their hometown for the mountains to seek peace. Aleph spent all of his time in his uncle's studio. His uncle Michael Ramia is a composer who had mastered more than 8 instruments and has been a great influence on him. His days were dedicated to training and entertaining, being the main attraction at all family festivities alongside his cousin Carla Ramia which sang Arabic at an early age, and does so till present day.〔http://mtv.com.lb/Programs/i_Witness/2015/Videos/Carla_Ramia_-_15_Aug_2015〕 At the age of 11, Abi Saad started composing his own music.〔(Al Joumhouriya: ألف بيانو الشرق. من هنا بدأت الحكاية ) 〕 In order to perfect his technique he enrolled in Holy Spirit University of Kaslik (in French: Université Saint-Esprit de Kaslik) (USEK) and studied piano theory and harmony. Aleph graduated as valedictorian n Music Theory from Kaslik and in Music Listening and Harmony from the Kharkiv Conservatory. Even though Aleph is self-taught, he gracefully acknowledges that his “academic detours” have provided his art with the necessary classical and technical basis.〔). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Aleph (pianist)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
