Disquiet Junto Project 0717: Generation Gambit

"Hemhal" (to unite, in English), Selin Sümbültepe’s latest EP released on October 24, 2024, celebrates the culture of Hatay, her home region in Southeastern Turkey, neighboring Syria. Selin’s mission to transmit to the next generation the culture that she was born into was reinforced when life in Hatay turned into a nightmare in 2023. With a devastating earthquake affecting her roots so deeply, Selin Sümbültepe embraced these songs to find healing and solace through music.

"Hemhal" was produced by Lebanese indie and global music pioneer Zeid Hamdan. For the first time in her career, Selin Sümbültepe was able to cooperate and interact with a renowned producer. Selin’s Fusion Folk Pop, with songs of love and of hope, should be listened to by people who have an open mind for discovery, who do not like borders and who rejoice in the universality of music. It is music of joy and for the soul.

With her new EP, Selin Sümbültepe may have changed her shell, but the one thing that has remained is her storytelling and her freely moving between genres. With "Hemhal" begins a new stage of Selin Sümbültepe’s artistic path and Selin’s future releases will certainly continue to be intriguing. She is now looking for exposure outside of Turkey, aiming to be present on European stages for the years to come.

كلمات الأغنية:

جم خلاص 
جت مجموعة جديدة لانج من الناس
ناس جديدة عالحكاية والرواية اتبدلت خلاص
جم خلاص
والخوف مالوش في  أبدانهم مكان 
ده كان زمان.. جبر والريح أمر بتبديل الاحداث
جم خلاص

دي ناس جديدة
 أفكار جديدة 
أحلام غير الأحلام شايفين مدى بعد المدا
قلوب قوية
روحهم عفية
حاضرة وشديدة ومالية المشهد من هنا لهنا
كاتبين حروف غير الحروف
صوتهم ده رعد نافذ ويا الدفوف 
الوف الوف
صفوف صفوف
يتحركوا يهزوا الأرض
فوق أي خوف  

جم خلاص 
جت مجموعة جديدة لانج من الناس
ناس جديدة عالحكاية والرواية اتبدلت خلاص
جم خلاص
والخوف مالوش في  أبدانهم مكان 
ده كان زمان.. جبر والريح أمر بتبديل الاحداث
جم خلاص


اتمرنوا 
واتودكوا 
من قبل ما ييجوا و يحضروا ولا حتى يكبروا 
ولو نويتوا تفكروا
 بأفكار قديمة تهددوه ولا تتنمروا 
هتختفوا
 وهيهتفوا
هم الخلاص
ماجم خلاص


جم خلاص
جت مجموعة جديدة لانج من الناس
ناس بتطير من على الأرض ما بتنداس
ناس بتلاحظ وبتركز مابتنساش

جم خلاص 
جت مجموعة جديدة لانج من الناس
ناس جديدة عالحكاية والرواية اتبدلت خلاص
جم خلاص
والخوف مالوش في  أبدانهم مكان 
ده كان زمان.. جبر والريح أمر بتبديل الاحداث
جم خلاص

Lyrics interpretation:

They’re finally here 
A brand new type of people, yes they’re finally here  
Unaccustomed to tales of old,
And they’ve already changed the narrative
They’re finally here,
Fear finds no refuge within them
A relic of times gone past,
And the wind has commanded change 
Yes, they’re finally here

Such new people, new thoughts, new dreams out of this world 
Their sight so sharp, cutting through the veils 
Their hearts pulse with strength, 
Their souls radiate with vibrance, 
So mighty and present,
Filling every corner of the scene

Their words so true, 
Their voices resonate like thunder with the echoing drums 
Unified they advance, thousands upon thousands, 
Shaking the whole earth, crushing fear beneath their feet  

Chorus

Well trained and adept, 
From the very moment they existed
And if you ever consider decadent schemes of threatening or bullying, 
You’ll disappear and they will cheer
Not anymore, for they’re finally here
You’ll disappear and they will cheer
Not anymore, for they’re finally here

They’re finally here 
A brand new type of people, yes they’re finally here 
Hovering above the ground, safe and sound 
Keenly observant and tenaciously focused

They’re finally here 
A brand new type of people, yes they’re finally here 
Hovering above the ground, safe and sound 
Keenly observant and tenaciously focused

Chorus

Les roses de Saadi (Marceline Desbordes-Valmore) - Jef Bourgeau

Step into a lounge where time sways instead of ticks, where velvet voices glide over upright bass, and secrets are stirred into every drink. Club Midnight blends polished charm with a modern undercurrent — playful, mysterious, and heartbreak-slick. From flirtatious duets to torchlit ballads, each track captures a different shade of night: the sparkle of the first drink, the ache behind a final glance, the hush when the music lingers.

Dress sharp, stay late — your table’s waiting.

Ash on the Glass

Je pense donc j’oublie

Même Dieu m’a dit "tant pis"

J’écris l’absurde et j’applaudis

Un philosophe... en survêt’ gris~

Je pense donc j’oublie (I think, therefore I forget)

We recently unearthed a VERY rare set of tin cylinders with some of the creations from my unusually great uncle - dated 1910! I've taken the opportunity to riff on top of his proto-EDM - with sounds WAY ahead of their time! No way would they have found an audience in his lifetime ... Let's try again 😜

Family legend has it that my Great Uncle Crackleton P. Valve was not so much born as assembled! His crib rattled with loose copper coils, his lullabies were hummed through wax cylinders, and his first word was said to be a faint but distinctly glitchy “bzzzzzt” ...

By the turn of the last century, when most men were proud to own a sturdy hat, Uncle Crackleton was already soldering strange contraptions in the garden shed, where every evening the glow of red-hot valves spilled out into the hedgerows. He refused to play the piano “like a commoner,” preferring instead to hammer phonograph needles against tin cylinders until they shrieked, warbled, and sang with a peculiar beauty only he seemed to understand.

The neighbours swore they could hear his experiments late at night: a ghostly stutter of sound, like church bells melting, or a brass band tumbling downstairs. He called it Music of the Future, although others called it a dreadful racket.

It’s said he once built a mechanical echo chamber out of two bathtubs, a bicycle pump, and a dozen mismatched radio valves. When he cranked it up, it produced a looping hiccup that terrified the vicar's cats and made their milk curdle. Even so, he declared it his masterpiece.

Though none of his recordings were thought to have survived, until now (most cylinders were repurposed as makeshift candle holders), family lore insists that without him, modern glitch music would not exist. Every time a record skips, a tape warbles, or a speaker crackles, somewhere, faintly, Uncle Crackleton P. Valve is smiling.

You Dance Like A Paranoid Old Goat  (disquiet0717)

Ancient or ancestral dance rhythms emerging from the mists of time and combined with a modern drone. Or is it an ancient drone with modern rhythms?

Ancient and Modern (disquiet0717)

This week's Disquiet Junto, number 0717, invited us to collaborate with an ancestor. I recalled my kinship with a certain pioneering electronic musician, my reclusive great aunt Carly Wendos. (Her catalog is strangely absent from most streaming services, but she was something of a sensation in classical music.)

The piece is a favorite of hers, an interpretation of Beethoven's Piano Trio #5 in D Major, Op. 70 No.1, the so-called "Ghost Movement". Aunt Carly rocks the Moogs while I supply the string section via live electric violin.

In all seriousness, this one is dedicated to my trans elder Wendy Carlos. Thank you for making a way for us. 

(Cover photo is a shot of her studio circa 1968.)

Old 1960s tape recording of my Grandfather and Uncle playing on the front porch of my Grandfathers farm in Indiana. It was mostly destroyed and unusable, but I salvaged a bit. I had to do quite a bit of digital restoration to get anything usable.....  I filled in by playing some extra acoustic guitar, bass and dobro.

ما بتنترك وحدك يوم بتروح 

وين العطف وين العشق و الروح 

ما بتنترك وحدك يوم بتروح 

اسمي معك مش شي مسموح 

بتعرف تحكي وقادر تبكي 

بتفل ناسي الباب مفتوح 
-------------------------------
وين الشعر وين النثر 

وين اللي كان عالورق فضى الحبر 

وين السما وين البحر 

وين اللي كان ما يحكي إلا بعمر 

فيك تتلفن وشي بحزن 

بتسكر وناسي الخط مفتوح 

----------------------------------
وين الصبي ل كان يشتكي 

وين اللي ضل عكتفي عم يتكي 

وين الوعد وين العهد 

وين اللي كان يحلفلي راجع بعد 

بتقدر ترمي أسوء كلمة

ولا بتنتبه في جرح مفتوح 
--------------------------------
وين الثقة حاجة بقى 

موعود ومطمن انو رح نلتقى 

وين العقل وين الذكا 

وين اللي كنت اسمعلو شو ما حكى 

كل شي بدي وباقي عندي 

ما تزيد فوق جروحي جروح

ما بتنترك وحدك| من زياد بصوت كارول.

[المقطع الأول]
ديرني في بالك، يا لي نهواك
أنا قلبي اختارك، قلبي اختارك
وما صبت دواك
اليوم راك معايا وغدوة يا درا؟
هذي حوال الدنيا، حوال الدنيا
حلوة ومرة

Think of me
Oh you who I love
My heart chose you
And I don’t know what to do
Now you’re by my side
But tomorrow, who knows?
That’s how the world is
Sweet and bitter at the same time

[اللازمة]
غير أنت، غير أنت، غير أنت
الي دخلت لقلبي
غير أنت، غير أنت، غير أنت
الي ساكن قلبي

No one but you
No one but you
No one but you has entered my heart
No one but you
No one but you
There's no one but you in my heart

[المقطع الثاني]
حالي محيّرني، ليلي مسهّرني
وعلاش يا عمري، حرام يا عمري
تعذّب فيا
الربيع ما يدوم، والورد يذبال
وأنا حالي معذور، حالي معذور
ديرني في البال

Your love puzzles me
At night I can't sleep
Why do you make me suffer so much ?
Spring does not last forever
And roses wilt in the end
I'm in chaos, I'm in chaos
Think of me

[اللازمة]
غير أنت، غير أنت، غير أنت
الي دخلت لقلبي
غير أنت، غير أنت، غير أنت
الي ساكن قلبي

No one but you
No one but you
No one but you has entered my heart
No one but you
No one but you
There's no one but you in my heart

My 33 1/3 series book about the Aphex Twin album <i>Selected Ambient Works Volume II</i> was published in 2014. The book was one of the top 5 bestselling titles for the calendar year, and in 2015 was ranked by Pitchfork as one of the "33 best" of the 100-plus books in the 33 1/3 series. It has subsequently been translated into Japanese (2019) and Spanish (2018)

Since 2012 I have moderated the Disquiet Junto group, which began on SoundCloud. More at disquiet.com/junto. 

I've written for Nature, Pitchfork, The Wire, Down Beat, Boing Boing, NewMusicBox, Red Bull Music Academy, Art Practical, the website of The Atlantic, and many other publications. 

I've exhibited sound art at galleries in Los Angeles (Crewest), Manhattan (apex art), and Dubai (DUTAC), and I had a audio-visual installation at the San Jose Museum of Art as part of its 45th anniversary.

And since 1996 I've run the website Disquiet.com about the intersection of sound, art, and technology.
