Original Music, Sound Design and Live Performance
This performance took place at New York's Producers Club
and was a Moon and Stars Production.
It was Yesim Gulans' NYC premier of her Turkish-New York fusion theater.
The score for this theater piece gave birth to the long form
symphonic poem Symphony East-West -an audio collage combining Asian and Middle Eastern music traditions with Western classical
music and pop instruments fusing western
music production technigues with Far Eastern and
M iddle Eastern musical instruments and traditions.
The oud, koto, shakuhachi, Ottoman vocals, tablas, guitars, strings and
rock drums mix freely together with field recordings from
Japan and Seoul, South Korea.
The movement you are listening to is based on the classical Turkish Ottoman
vocal song "Makhber".
