distant crossroads
As
I have said many times before on this blog, a new mix is very often
born when a track or two inspires me to create something new. In this
case it was the new album by Esmerine called "Dalmak."
The
group recorded the new tracks in Instanbul and the whole album
definitely has the texture and feel that one would associate with
Turkish music. The Constellation Records website describes it
perfectly...
"As a title for Esmerine's new album, "dalmak" refers in a literal sense
to immersion in the culture and music of Istanbul but also appropriately
evokes the range of music that emerged from this immersion: a
collection of songs that shift between meditative pulsing and enveloping
restraint to headlong flights into rhythm and groove."
With Esmerine as I starting point I went to some familiar sources. One being the wonderful recordings of Myke Dodge Weiskopf. I excerpted part of his Field Recordings & Global Ambience mix and also used a cut from his latest release - "The Muezzins of Mali."
I
also worked in some Byrne & Eno early mixes from the "My Life in
the Bush of Ghosts" sessions. As well as some early mixes and extracts
from Peter Gabriel's "Passion."
I enjoy these musical treks, I hope you do too.
