AL.Berlin - Checkpoint 303 - Apr 30 2024

The sound of waves recorded on the southern coast of the Sea of Marmara during strong winds.
The temperature is 1 degree Celsius.

All the garbage brought by the north wind has washed up on the shore.

The seas regurgitate all the filth.

In the mountains of Latakia, Syria, Mudar Salimeh devotes much of his time to searching for butterflies. A geologist, artist, and nature lover, Mudar's fascination with butterflies began in the spring of 2018 when a great number of caterpillars appeared in his art studio. Over time, the caterpillars transformed into a cloud of white butterflies, sparking Mudar's quest to find and document these beautiful, elusive creatures.

Syria's civil war has caused extensive ecological damage, affecting far more than just human lives. Then, in February 2023, an earthquake struck the region of Latakia.

Spring 2024 arrives and butterflies start to emerge, we join Mudar as he creates an encyclopedia of the different butterfly species in Western Syria - a task made challenging by the shadows of war.

Explore our exclusive sound effects library featuring 10 authentic recordings of a wedding band playing Roman Havası, the lively and soulful music of the Turkish Romani community.

Roman Havası, characterized by its energetic 9/8 rhythms, intricate melodies, and vibrant instrumentation, is a cornerstone of Turkish Gypsy music and a popular choice at weddings and celebrations. This music style has deep roots in the Romani culture, known for its blend of traditional Anatolian, Balkan, and Middle Eastern musical elements.

Typically performed with clarinets, darbukas, violins, and accordions, Roman Havası is distinguished by its dynamic tempo changes and expressive ornamentations that invite dancers to join in spirited, improvisational dance. As a globalized genre, it has evolved while retaining its distinct, culturally rich essence, now celebrated internationally as part of the world music category.

The tracks in this collection capture the joyful and celebratory nature of Roman Havası, featuring ambiences from a rural wedding and traditional Turkish music ensembles, with drums in the foreground, making them perfect for adding an authentic cultural touch to your projects. Whether you're working on a film, a game, or a cultural presentation, these sound files offer a vivid soundscape of one of Türkiye's most vibrant musical traditions.
