Paris-based Tunisian musician Smadj pilots a musical landscape with an oud as his steering wheel and a laptop loaded with his sampled creations as his global positioning system. The gasoline in this musical time travel machine is improvisation, and he always keeps one eye in the rear view mirror to find out where to go next...All of the tracks on Take It and Drive originated as live performances, either on stage or in Smadj’s home studio. “It is not like the last generation of electronic music where you sequence different sections and re-arrange it to compose the song,” says Smadj. “Now it is improvised live.”
