The second installment in the Rare Elements series, this album pairs Turkish
multi-instrumentalist virtuoso Omar Faruk Tekbilek with the worlds hottest
remixers, including Amon Tobin, Flosstradamus, Junior Sanchez, Tommie
Sunshine and many more.
On this album, Omar Faruk plays twelve traditional Turkish instruments:
ney, kaval, kavala, zurna, oud, baglama, jura, darbuka, def, bendir, davul
and finger cymbals. All-star remixers took these traditional Turkish sounds
and melodies and transformed them using sensibilities grounded in electronic
and dance music.
Omar Faruk Tekbilek is a masterful performer whose first-rate musicianship
provides a cohesive thread throughout the album, while the remixers’
individual perspectives lend a variety that makes the album an exhilarating
and exotic adventure.
The record is available at:
iTunes
and
Amazon.com
