Random info:

Those who are familiar with Mehdi Haddab's eclectic track record to date will not bat an eyelid at the mention of his new project, Speed Caravan - although fans of the oud (the pear-shaped, stringed instrument used in Middle Eastern music and considered by many to be the predecessor of the western lute) may be a little more bemused. Mehdi Haddab, a musician renowned on the French music scene for his pioneering work with a number of fusion projects, has now ventured out in a new direction, forming a "contemporary musical caravan" with bassist Pascal Teillet and electro musician Hermione Frank. The three create a magic triangle of sound, infused with rock energy and electro trance, and Mehdi's virtuoso acrobatics on the electric oud take the instrument way beyond its classical image.

Speed Caravan started out as a pact between two innovative nightbird musicians, Mehdi Haddab and Pascal Teillet (better known to family and friends as Pasco) who decided to hook up together and work on their own original compositions as well as an interesting selection of cover versions ranging from Udi Hrant to the Chemical Brothers and The Cure. The pair both come from very different musical backgrounds, although they are united by a passion for striking off in unexpected directions without a musical compass.
