A composition by Issa Boulos, "The Alley" is an evocative instrumental composition for a traditional Arab ensemble that delves into the hidden narratives of urban spaces. This piece explores the duality of streets, contrasting their everyday appearances with the secrets they harbor when viewed from different perspectives or at unusual times. The music invites listeners to contemplate the often-overlooked parallel world of alleyways, which run alongside main thoroughfares but remain primarily unnoticed by passersby. Through its melodic journey, "The Alley" unveils the clandestine activities, untold stories, and subtle dramas that unfold in these narrow, shadowy passages. The composition challenges our perceptions of familiar urban landscapes, encouraging us to look beyond the surface and discover the rich tapestry of life that exists just out of sight, in the spaces between the spaces we typically traverse.
