Inspiration
When you call your solo project an "ensemble," you're either completely crazy or mad serious about your music. Multi-instrumentalist Charif Megarbane is a bit of both. His work as Cosmic Analog Ensemble is heavily informed by jazz-funk, hip-hop sampling, and library music. Under his own name, he released 'Marzipan' on Habibi Funk, with compositions inspired by his home country of Lebanon.

"'Marzipan' is a journey into Charif's styling, one he terms 'Lebrary': a vision of Lebanon and the Mediterranean expressed via the prismatic sonics of library music."

"This very musical and instrumental approach from Dilla or Madlib, even if they used vinyl, was a big boost for me. It was possible to do solo stuff without too much technology and to produce a lot while remaining fun."
"Though he shuffles through many genres, Megarbane's signature sound leans heavily on vintage movie scores."
