Asylum | Original Song By Rabea Massaad | Ambient Guitar

Whilst spending more time indoors over the whole COVID-19 situation, I decided to record a song I wrote a little while ago.

Hope you enjoy it, and stay safe ❤️

Hey guys, I’m Rabea. I'm the lead guitarist in Toska, Frog Leap & Dorje where I write music, make songs and have a great time with my mates. I also have my own line of guitars with Chapman Guitars, and I’ve designed numerous products with some really cool companies, such as the Victory Amps VX Kraken. Anyway, i hope you enjoy my videos, thank you for watching!

Its like Hans zimmer and rabea made a soundtrack and this is the version without the orchestra,

hey mastermind... i quit the stuff that i did, put my headphones on, and listen to this short, but intense story! Thanks for putting me in another world for a few minutes in these uncomfortable days and following weeks! cheers

[RabeaMassaad]

Thank you all so much for the kind words about this song!

For those interested in the signal chain:

Guitar > boss es-8 split off to two amps > Victory VX100 & VC35 > UA capitol chamber reverb & Galaxy Tape Echo > Logic Pro X

I added some EQ to carve out some of the low end resonance of two amps with tons of reverb, then added Oxide Tape Sat to the master and a limiter.

That’s it!

If you did a whole ambient guitar album I would buy it in a heart beat. Grinding Gears III: The Ambient Sessions?

Out of curiosity, with the current COVID-19 situatuon in the UK at the moment, are Toska still planning on playing the dates? I've got tickets to see you in London on the 25th April!

[Preets]

We desperately need tabs for this. Desperately.

[MalkaMoon]

Ever felt like a song was written JUST for you. This is it. I listen to this daily ❤️ this hits so deep.

It's very cliche to say, but you can absolutely speak through your guitar. It's the most magical thing I've ever heard in my life. To be able to compose an electric guitar song with nothing but the guitar and a few ambient effects is complete mastery of an instrument and song writing. You're the best Rabea and thank you for sharing.

HAPPY π DAY!!! ITS MARCH 14TH... AND BEA DROPS A SONG THAT'S 3:14... ❤️

[TuckerCustomShop]

Still a masterpiece 3 yrs later. Still have to stop everything I am doing and listen to this one.

[sovereignidiot]

Gorgeous. Reminds me of "if trees could talk".

[xanderalex]

Movie producers would pay big money for this sort of stuff. Ever considered that? I think you'd do great.

[Sensei-musashi]

I can't stop listening to this tune for 2 weeks straight now, i wish i discovered Rabea and his amazing work earlier, and its so sad i cant find this specific signature model anywhere locally or online. I WANT IT SO BAD!

[gaborjaszfalvi]

And for 3:14 everything was all right. Thank you Rabea for this masterpiece.

[e.g.systems]

Perfectly beautiful. Firstly, I think this captures the sadness we all feel about what's happening to the world right now, and secondly, there's something about the opening 60 seconds which speaks to your roots. Hey, if being shut off and closed in gives us this, then every cloud does in fact have a silver lining. Best wishes to anyone out there suffering losses, and hardship.

[jacquesmalecaut]

I genuinely think Rabea is a world class musician. More importantly he seems like a lovely guy. That's a rare mix. I love this and all the Toska stuff. Please make an album with tracks like this.

You have no idea what this song means to me at this point in my life. I have had it on repeat the last few days since you released it to google play music. You know when you have a really emotional moment and a song plays and you can no longer listen to it anymore because the pain is too strong, or one that reminds you of a time when good times were had.
This songs the perfect blend of both for me. I've been through hell the last week and I'm sat here crying in relief. this song is going to stick with me for life I can feel it. As a muscian myslf this is something I strive to do, reach that one person. You have just done this for me.
At some point I would love to explain what you have just done for me, but for now let me have this moment.

[sdy]

Please do a solo album. A bit of ambient, a bit of riffage, a bit of shred. You’re recording technique is great, the sound is great, the playing is great. It’s really listenable. More please!

[PhiI]

Beautiful man. You have so much talent. I'd love to hear a video explaining how you write these ambient type pieces. They are so emotive and powerful.

[MoreTrashLessCash]

We need more stuff like that for our quarantine. Music is the cure for our soul and bodies, thank you for share this with us

Bro, I’ve been teaching myself guitar for 4-5 years now, not made much progress as I can only really do open and power chords. After doing your online lessons after a day I’ve learnt more than I did in 4 years by myself! Thanks man!
