Grup Beri - Tutsak

Qatifa interprète le Bashraf Qarah Batak Sikah du compositeur ottoman Kemani Khedr Agha (~18ème siècle).

Avec 
Baptiste Frelat, oud 
Julien Podolak, violon
Yacine Sbay, riqq

Enregistré le 26 mai 2024 à Lyon. Captation son et mixage par Samuel Débias, captation vidéo, montage et photos par Erol Gum.

-- A propos --
Qatifa célèbre la beauté de la musique classique arabo-ottomane. 
Dans une forme purement instrumentale, l'ensemble explore l'art du Maqâm méditerranéen, comme les dédales d'un palais. Fidèles à l'esprit de la musique modale, oud, violon et percussions réinventent et ornementent les chemins musicaux empruntés à chaque concert. Les Taqasim - improvisations libres ou rythmées - se drapent autour des Sama'i, Bashraf ou Longa, hérités de maîtres tels que Tanburi Cemil Bey (Empire Ottoman) ou Mohammad al-Qasabji (Egypte). Des compositions toujours aussi vivantes, parfois quelques centaines d'années après leur naissance.

Derede alabalık olta attım tutayım
Beş senelik sevdamsın ben nasıl unutayım
Dere büyümüş gelir taşları da peşinde
Öyle sevdim ki onu yanarım ateşine

Sarılı çemberini sardın koydun koynuma
Bensiz nasıl yatarsın yılan girsin koynuna

Dere getirir taşı denizin kıyısına
Ben nasıl vurulmuşum hayırsızın birine

Otları biçemedim hava yağışlıydı Bugün gördüm yarimi gözleri yaşlıydı

Karşıya konaklara sabah güneşi alır
Otuz beşi geçiren elbette evde kalır

Yaşar Kurt - Hemşinli

KEMENCHE BEAT | KAI

Dead Loop, is a meditation on risk, memory, and the haunting legacy of forbidden movement(s). The titles of the two tracks—1972 and 1977—refer to when the infamous gymnastic bars move, the ‘Korbut Flip’, was performed for the first (and last) time. Deemed so perilous the flip had to be banned from international competition following its first execution at the 1972 Munich Olympics by 17-year-old Soviet gold medallist, Olga Korbut. In 1977, another Soviet gymnast, Elena Mukhina, modified the risky flip with an additional twist… cementing the move’s mythological status with an additional re-iteration.

Over two brief sides of tape, Flora Yin Wong narrates the myth of the forbidden Korbut Flip with elongated, processed, and looped layers of the kemençe (an Eastern Mediterranean stringed instrument found in Turkey, Greece, and Iran). The strings of the kemençe are bowed, plucked and struck, echoing the gymnast’s own uncanny motions, cycles, and steps on and around the bars. Flora Yin Wong manipulates the sounds through various pedals and GRM Tools to craft an unpredictable diptych of haunted soundscapes. Recorded in London, this music is immersive and tense, brimming with a sense of suspended risk, much like the gymnast tumbling around the bars.

Limited Edition tape. Pro Dubbed at Monotype. Printed at L'automatica letterpress in Barcelona on 100 year old Heidelberg machines. Artwork by Oficina de Disseny.

From ancient echoes to modern rhythms, each track explores the spaces between the known and the unknown, the outer world and inner mind. With a signature hat and an ear for the unspoken, UnchartedNomad maps new terrain through raw, timeless and poetic creation.
