Mercan Dede
Kapadokya
After a three year period of artistic incubation and reinvention, Mercan Dede returns to the music sphere with the inaugural video release on Halaken Records, 'Kapadokya'. Making use of contemporary technology blended with traditional instruments from a variety of cultures, the release pulls both the landscape and sounds into an ageless work of art. The haunting vocals of Bryce Lamar float a top a rich symphony of strings while classic Turkish gypsy percussions engage in conversation with warm analog synths and electronic sound design. Signature to his music, the Ney elevates the music to another level, singing a powerfully mysterious melody to bring the song to climax.
