Notes

I am pretty excited to share my discovery of Turkish singer Gaye Su Akyol who has a mesmerising voice and performance, as well as extremely engaging musical arrangements and prolific musicians accompanying each song. As someone who is ignorant about Turkish culture, this is a wonderful gateway into exploring the musical history and developments of the long-standing society.

I also learned of Dirty Three, another project by multi-instrumentalist by Warren Ellis, who is also known as being Nick Cave’s frequent musical collaborator. Frenetic, cathartic, and fearless, the music by the experimental trio is unconcerned with appreciation, and go all out to induce exorcism, incantation, or perhaps even possession.

There is also a healthy dose of soundscapes and beat therapy. Music to intoxicate, as much as accompany or prompt a meridian response. Who knows what the new week will bring? But I will see you here regardless.
