2:43·90 bpm·Gm·5 versions
UnderscoreAction, Arabic, Ethnic

A mid-tempo G minor tension cue built on frame drums and layered percussion under nay flute, oud and santur lines, with male vocal colour adding an authentic regional edge. It moves at a steady 90 BPM pulse suited to surveillance, pursuit on foot through crowded streets, or a briefing scene that tightens as it goes.

UnderscoreArabic, Ethnic, Film Score

The gentlest cue on the set: 80 BPM in E flat, with nay, oud, santur, qanun and saz woven over soft frame drums and strings, and no action tagging. The greeting in the title reads as arrival and hospitality rather than threat, making it a scene-setter for a market, a village at dawn or a moment of calm between tense sequences.

STYE698 · Demented Sound Mafia Presents: Fatwa · Yaniv Barmeli
2:42·120 bpm·Bm·5 versions
UnderscoreAction, Arabic, Ethnic

The most driving cue here at 120 BPM in B minor, pairing violin and electric guitar with santur, frame drums and male chant vocals for a hybrid modern-thriller texture. The rock element pushes it toward chase, raid and confrontation footage rather than pure atmosphere.

Fatwa

2:48·80 bpm·Dm·3 versions
UnderscoreAction, Arabic, Ethnic

The title cue sits at a slow, heavy 80 BPM in D minor, with strings and nay over santur, qanun and frame drums, and is still tagged for action rather than calm. It reads as ominous decree and creeping threat, best used where a scene turns dangerous without yet breaking into pace.

UnderscoreAction, Arabic, Ethnic

The fastest cue on the album at 165 BPM in B minor, with santur, qanun and setar racing over frame drums and percussion while male chant vocals cut through. Relentless and forward-driving, it fits pursuit, escape and hard-cut action montage.

2:58·80 bpm·A·5 versions
UnderscoreArabic, Ethnic, Film Score

An 80 BPM cue in the brighter key of A, with violin, nay, oud and tar over frame drums and strings, and no action tag — the warmest and most reflective piece here. The theme of migration suits journey footage, displacement stories and emotional passages of travel.

2:32·136 bpm·Dm·5 versions
UnderscoreArabic, Ethnic, Film Score

A trailer-oriented 136 BPM cue in D minor, the shortest on the album, combining nay, oud, tar and strings with female chant vocals over insistent frame drums. Its declaration-of-faith title and trailer tagging point to escalating promo edits and high-stakes reveals.

UnderscoreArabic, Ethnic, Film Score

The slowest cue at 70 BPM in D minor, with nay, oud, tar and sustained strings under female chant vocals and unhurried frame drums. Wide and desolate rather than tense, it suits coastline and desert vistas, aftermath scenes and mournful narration.

UnderscoreArabic, Ethnic, Film Score

A compact 100 BPM cue in A minor, the shortest piece here, with nay, oud, tar, strings and female chant over steady frame drums. Its walking pace and heat-hazed title make it useful for desert convoy shots, border footage and mid-length narration beds that need momentum without aggression.

2:38·100 bpm·Cm·5 versions
UnderscoreAction, Arabic, Ethnic

A 100 BPM C minor cue that adds synth to the acoustic palette of strings, nay, tar and qanun, with frame drums and female chant giving it a ritual undertow. Tagged for action and darker than the album's calmer pieces, it suits prophecy, radicalisation and slow-building dread in an investigative narrative.
