Misket Dance (Misket Havasi) is an interesting folk dance from Ankara region of Turkey with a melody appearing only on off-beats. 3rd and 4th 16th's are also used a lot to embellish melodies. Originally the dancers accompany the music with a special rhythm played with a couple of wooden spoons in each hand (Here, the same rhythm is played with small finger cymbals).

A few number of authentic songs of this style are very popular at Turkish wedding celebrations. 10-20 minutes of sets made of Ankara style dances are played at almost all wedding celebrations. In addition to that, still there is a great number of songs created using the same musical style, its own urban subculture is already emerged especially around Ankara the capital city of Turkey. 

Originally the piece is made on request for a video game for children on iOS, "Misket ile Kismet, Bir Ankara Macerasi" (Misket and Kismet, an Ankara Adventure) by Zbam Games and Municipality of Ankara.

"Do Synthesizers Dream of Analog Sheep?"

Analog Sheep is the vintage inspired electronica project of the Istanbul based composer Guney Ozsan.

Analog Sheep is named after the novel “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep” by the American writer Philip K. Dick. The novel describes a post-apocalyptic world where it became very hard to distinguish androids from human beings. Analog Sheep is formed to ask the question: “Do Synthesizers Dream of Analog Sheep?”

Analog Sheep is found in 2012 and made its debut with the soundtrack for the game Rad Skater Apocalypse by Murray Lorden from Melbourne, Australia. The Analog Sheep logo is designed by Murat Kalkavan.

80's kid. Permanently brain damaged by the hours spent on PC games, Atari 2600, Sega Master System, Gameboy etc.

Now a "bedroom producer" (after working hours). Fan of chiptunes, synthwave, fakebit, 8bit-ish music. Probably because of the "bring us back our childhood" and other nostalgia shit. I also like metal and classical music.

Hope you will enjoy the plinky planky sounds! Drop me a line if you want and follow me!

Thank you for your time reading this :)
