Uşşak Saz Semaisi by Neyzen Aziz Dede.
This is the first recording I made with electric fretless guitar, in 2008. A classical Turkish music piece, the Uşşak Saz Semaisi by the sufi ney player Aziz Dede (1850-1905). The drum loop is one of the most sampled ones in the history of music, played with the great John Bonham in the song 'When the levee breaks' (Led Zeppelin IV, 1970). Originaly it is a 4/4 beat, so I edited it to convert it into the 10/8 pattern usual in this classical Turkish form (Aksak Semai). Enjoy!

A solo Project from Mexico City founded by Fernando Vaugier, with principal influences in the Post-Punk, ColdWave, electronic sounds and an extensive quantity of genres adapted to the expression of a dark and cold sound,  with the typical characteristic of sudden changes of sound from one track to another, Mementut takes the visualization of the politics as a subject matter, the wars and the religion in the mind of a human being with mental illnesses and / or psychological damages, an attachment to topics related to conditions like autism, sociopathy, psychopaty and the bipolarity, the love/hate towards the God's darkness,  the unstable meditation to reach the peace in a place without light or hope, the one that only the doomed individuals can perceive in their emotions, Mementut is a word of created by a combination between the words "Memento" (I remember - in Latin) and "Tot" (dead - in German) taking "Mímentut" as a pronunciation for spanish, slightly similarly referring the phrase "Memory of something dead " used as the first idea for his creator to refer to the last recollection or image that a person can have of before dying  in a former life, and like a second attempt to name that shaded emotion that only the lost souls can feel, the part "tut" (Tot) also takes as a reference the name of the Egyptian God, a relation and similarity exists also in certain ideologies with the term(end) "shade" used in the psychology and in turn polysemic in an adjective to mention a person with many strength after cruel feelings and experiences, being able to exist multiple examples as adjective in a phrase but the major one being able to be:
" You are Mementut,  you resist in front of  the fury of God "

Proyecto de la Ciudad de Mexico fundado por Fernando Vaugier, con principales influencias en el Post-Punk, ColdWave, sonidos electrónicos y una extensa cantidad de géneros adaptados a la expresión de un sonido oscuro y frío, teniendo como característica típica un posible cambio brusco en el sonido de un tema a otro, Mementut tiene como temática la visualización de la política, las guerras y la religion en la mente de un ser humano con enfermedades mentales y/o daños psicológicos, un apego a temas relacionados a condiciones como el autismo, la sociopatía, la psicopatía y la bipolaridad, el odio/amor a la oscuridad de Dios, la inestable meditación para alcanzar la paz en un lugar sin luz o esperanza y aquello que solo los individuos trágicos pueden percibir en sus emociones, Mementut es una palabra creada por una combinación entre las palabras ''Memento'' (recuerdo- en latín) y ''Tot'' (muerto- en Aleman) teniendo como pronunciación algo parecido a ''Mímentut'' haciendo referencia la frase ''Recuerdo de algo muerto'' usada como primera idea por su creador para referirse al ultimo recuerdo o imagen que una persona puede tener de antes de haber muerto en su vida pasada, y como segunda para intentar nombrar aquella sombría emoción que solo las almas perdidas pueden sentir, la parte ''tut'' (Tot) tambien tiene como referencia el nombre del Dios egipcio, existe tambien una relación y similitud en ciertas ideologías con el termino ''sombra'' utilizado en la psicología y a su vez polisémica en un adjetivo para mencionar a una persona con mucha fortaleza ante crueles sentimientos y vivencias, pudiendo existir múltiples ejemplos como adjetivo en una frase pero el mayor pudiendo ser:
''Tu eres Mementut, tu resistes ante la furia de Dios''
