Okay Temiz is an accomplished musician who plays all sorts of percussion instruments that he has either collected or crafted over the years in a style of his own and can skillfully transform even the simplest ryhthms into a whole new set of sounds.

Example of using same note on two different strings: Listen carefully to the two/three notes at the end of each phrase...

Six of the seven songs in "Qin Show" use silk strings created using ancient techniques discovered only a year ago, thus maintaining historical accuracy in its timbre. The last song of the album uses steel strings to provide comparison to the sound of the

Serbia's Boban Markovic, king of Roma brass and reigning trumpet royalty, shot thru w/jazz, Latin-Caribbean + other unmapped sound streams...

Its tonal system divides an octave into 24 non-equal) intervals. Each tone has its own name (not repeated in the next octave) and is defined by its position relative to other tones - rather than absolute pitch. Pitch can deviate by as much as 1/4 from named pitch. Independence in pitch is possible because Arabic music does not use harmony - no chords to sound "sour" or "off."

If you've ever thought of doing a spot of classical composition, here are a few tips. Ditch your pencil, paper and piano. Purchase one very large, powerful computer. Find one equally large, powerful new brain. Replace for your own. And get printing. For there's a new musical lingua franca and it relies on indescribably complicated computer printouts (spectrograms), wave analysis and new Pythagoreanism. Don't ask. What really matters is that it's called Spectralism, it's the future of classical music - and it actually sounds rather nice.

Her schooling included music, and she became a pianist, eventually moving to Jerusalem and recording highly unique pieces that filter the traditional Ethiopian pentatonic scale through classical technique-- in the end sounding like impressionistic jazz."

The mandolin looks harmless enough. About the size of a tennis racket, it's easy to get a clear, golden sound just by brushing your pick across its four sets of double strings. That doesn't mean I didn't feel slightly panicky when my wife surprised me with one when I hit the big '4-0. "We support you, sweetie," Ruth said, speaking for the family. By day 7n, she and our 4-year-old would quietly slip into another room whenever I took a crack at "Turkey in the Straw."

Nearly a year in the making and brimming with a newfound focus on original material, Already Free is The Derek Trucks Band's natural evolution as they move forward integrating influences that span a variety of musical genres. Known for their blues roots, the group takes this album well beyond blues to incorporate the larger sounds of rock & soul. Already Free features a stirring cover of Bob Dylan's Down In The Flood as well as the new songs, Down Don't Bother Me and Get What You Deserve.

Don Cherry was one of the most individual and idiosyncratic voices in contemporary jazz and world music, and also one of the most significant figures of his era. In an age of technically fearsome trumpet players, Cherry preferred to emphasise expression and musical communication over speed and technical prowess, and evolved an utterly distinctive sound and style in the process.

An acoustic roots-based fusion, Nawal's unique sound combines influences from her native islands Comoros and far beyond. Her music is insightful, rebellious and compassionate, and steeped in the light of her Sufi ancestry. Each song its own universe - Aman is an invitation to dance, dream, meditate and soar over the Indian Ocean."

QUALITIES: tribal, minimalistic, trance-like claps (rather than progressive house's snare drums); deep, penetrating, lowtempo beats, foreboding, lyrics+sounds, melancholic, dreamy...can get horrific (screeching, moaning, electronic pulses found in horror movies), intricate basslines w/ pitch changes

Tilopa plays a long shakuhachi, or kyotaku, which has pentatonic tuning and 5 holes like the shakuhachi, with a much deeper and more mellow sound.

Sharhabeel launched a new genre of Sudanese song, melding jazz vocals with a big band sound, and Sharhabeel and his band became Khartoum's most sought after ensemble. It was a popularity that mushroomed. His synthesiser-driven renditions of traditional songs brought further success and recognition. "It is ironic," he muses, "that in the 21st century, there is not a single recording studio in Sudan," in contrast to the exuberance & optimisim of the 1950s, after Sudan's 1956 independence from Britain. The pentatonic scale of Sudanese music contrasts sharply with the septatonic scale of Arabic music.

Dave Douglas - Trumpet, Adam Benjamin - Rhodes, Gene Lake - Drums. Marcus Strickland - Saxophones, Brad Joes - Bass, DJ Olive - Turntables. Moonshine, the newest album from trumpeter/composer Dave Douglas' Grammy-nominated band Keystone, is an album that moves musical genres forward into uncharted territory. The evolutionary/revolutionary aspect is found in the vibrant alchemy between Douglas' avant-garde leaning compositions, the relentless, polyrhythmic funk of drummer Gene Lake and bassist Brad Jones, the Sun-Ra-esque sonics of Adam Benjamin who plays a highly modulated Fender Rhodes and the post-post blowing of the front line featuring Douglas and saxophonist Marcus Strickland. But what puts this one over the top is the true integration of a DJ, in this case DJ Olive, into the constantly shifting improvisations of a cutting edge band. Rolling Stone called Keystone's 2005's self titled album, "a modernist requiem." Moonshine takes it a step further: a modernist recipe for the future sound of electronics, jazz, and new composition. "I think of it as Green Beat," says Douglas with a grin, referring to the organic way that the rhythms of vinyl, laptop, and drum set coalesce in this infectious, grooving new album. One forgets all the elements that go into this hybrid music, as each piece amounts to a masterpiece of modern jazz-informed composition and performance. There are many details buried in these tracks, and perhaps the most remarkable thing is that the basis for this recording was a single performance in front of a live studio audience. The state-of-the-art mutli-track recording of this session makes possible a hybrid of the best parts of studio isolation and live excitement. It allowed Greenleaf Music to raise to the highest level the post-production of these recordings.
