COMPOSER
My passion for cello began at the age of five. After watching a performance at the Cairo opera house I told my mother that I wanted to play "that one". Back in Germany I got my first cello and lessons and so the life long journey began...
My passion for composing began in Berlin with arranging covers for my own ensembles, and performances with loop station accompaniment. I've had the opportunity to write for recordings and shows, and love composing cello and string lines for singer songwriters.
During the pandemic, I composed, recorded, and produced my first album of children’s songs. A year later, I released my second album of trailer music, which was published with Warner Chappell Production Music. In 2025, my journey came full circle with the release of my first solo album, Atmospheric Cello — also published with Warner Chappell Production Music.
Atmospheric Cello is the debut solo album by Berlin-based cellist, composer, and sound healing artist Samira Aly. Born out of a period of personal change, the music reflects her journey of self-discovery and transformation. The album originates from a series of live, improvised meditations, where Samira intuitively translated her emotions into sound. Built from layered cello lines, repetitive pizzicatos, and meditative motifs, the album creates an atmosphere that is intimate and reflective.
Release date: November 1st 2025

For my work "String Theory Vol.1" I composed and recorded the cello lines and collaborated together with film composer Sebastian Pecznik who produced and curated the album published by Warner Chappell Production Music.
In the winter of 2020/21 I composed my first album which included both the composition and album production of ten children songs for the project Zirkus Palope.
