Yasmine Hamdan - Deny (live session)

Yasmine Hamdan - "Deny" (live session) from Crammed Discs on Vimeo.


Filmekimi sayesinde karşılaştığım yeni bir ses. Yasmine Hamdan, Beyrut doğumlu ve kurduğu Soapkills adlı duo, orta doğunun ilk indi/elektro müzik yapan grubu olarak adlandırılıyor...Filmekimi kapsamında 6 Ekim'de Salon'da konser verecek olan bu ses dünya müziği listelerimize hakkı ile yerleşiyor.

Ve Deny adlı bu parça, yaşam enerjisi gibi! Tüm tedirginlikleri, dinginlikleri, tutkusu ve yükselişiyle resmen hayat! Ağır çekimde kameralara yakalanmış hayat gibi! Vay dedim.Ne besteler var dedim. Ve üç beş notaya sığdırılabilen böylesi duygular! Afiyet olsun.

Another new voice that I met through the film festival in Octorber. Yasmine Hamdan is born in Beirut and her duo Soapkills is known as the first indie/electronic band in Middle East. She will be also performing in Istanbul as a part of the film festival at 6th of October at Salon and wins one of the first lines in our world music lists.

And this song Deny is like the energy of lie itself! Includes all hesitations, peace, passion and rising in itself. Lie the life caught to the spotlights in slow motion! I said wow. What a composition. Such feelings just in couple of notes! Enjoy!

NORRDA - Infinite Face



Bugün yine sizi alıp götüreceğini umduğum, biraz Hayyam biraz Şems tadında bi parçamız var :)

Norrda multikültürel - kökleri türk olmakla beraber - dünyanın izlerini taşıyıp kuzey avrupa ve doğunun oryentini aynı potada eritme durumunun hakkını veren, ingilizce bir albüm çıkarmış olan dinlemesi leziz bir grup. Adı İsveçce'de kuzey anlamına gelen "Nor" kelimesinden türeyen grubun perküsyonunda sizlerle daha önce de bir şarkısını paylaşmış olduğum İsveç doğumlu Hakan Vreskala, gitarda ise Deniz Cuylan var. Bu ikilinin yapmış olduğu müziğin üzerine duru bir ingilizceyle büyülü şarkıları seslendiren sesin adı ise Selen Hünerli.

Today we have a song to take you far away. a little bit Khayyam a little bit Shems-i Tabrizi hidden in a song.

Norrda, besides having turkish roots, has all the multicultural instruments in their music, and succesfully carrying the worlds fingerprints. Especially engaging the north european and orient style. A delicious band which has an englished languaged album. The name of the group is named after the Swedish word "Nor" which means north. The percussion player is Hakan Vreskala - which I shared a lot about him (unfortunateley only in turkish ) guitar player is Deniz Cuylan. The compositions that this two great brain created has found their voice with Selen Hünerli through her pure and magical english vocals.

no pain my love
nothing's left to suffer anymore
no rain my child
earths are full from top to the core
with rage and hate
and the gaze of the infinite face
we come and we go
pray for the road
can't find a way
help for your lost soul

we were in greed
black and deep
this hole inside of me wants everything
calls it the needs
we throw the seeds
wait them to grow and get us freed
from rage and hate
and the gaze of the infinite face
we come and we go.

Vai Vedrai - Cirque du Soleil & Photos of Francesca Woodman



Bugün ülkemde ulusal bir kanalda hamile kadına "estetik değil" dendi. Sokağa çıkmasın dendi. "Kocaman bir göbekle ortalıkta dolaşmasın" dendi. Kadındaki "güzelliği" değil "güzelliği" göremeyenlere gelsin bu parça ve fotoğraflar. Fotoğraflar kendisinin de bizzat modellik yaptığı siyah beyaz kadın portreleri ile bilinen ve 22 yaşında intihar etmiş Amerikan fotoğrafçı Francesca Woodman'a ait. Şarkıyı ise bulamadım kime ait, bilemedim. Bugün günün şarkısı yerine fotoğrafları olsun o halde. Kadın dediğin de şarkı gibi değil mi zaten?

Edit: Sonradan şarkının da kime ait olduğunu bulmanın sevinci. Vai Vedrai, Cirque du Soleil imiş efendim.

Today in a national tv channel in my country, some unknown object called pregnant woman as "not aesthetic". some unknown object suggested that "pregnants shouldn't be on the streets with such huge bellies" This song is dedicated to the ones that can not see the "beauty" in a woman but a superficial "beauty" instead. And the photos too...Photos are taken by an American photographer Francesca Woodman, who was known with her black and white woman portraits including her self as a model and committed suicide by her 22. And the song; which I couldn't find any information about, won't matter for today. Lets call it the photos of the day instead of the song of the day. Besides, isn't a woman like a song herself?
Enjoy...

Edit: I did found something about the song too... Vai Vedrai by Cirque du Soleil

Vai, vai bambino vai vedrai, vai
Vai, vai piccino vai vedrai, vai
Vedrai
Dove mancha la fortuna
Non si ca piu con il cuore
Ma coi piedi sulla luna
Oh mio fancillu(o) vedrai
Vai Vedrai che un sorriso
Nasconde spesso un gran' dolore
Vai Vedrai follia del uomo
Follia
Del uomo senza driturra vai
Follia
Del guerrier senza paura vai
Follia
Del bambino pien' divita
Che giocando al paradiso
Dal soldato fu ucciso
Mio fanciull(o) vedrai
Vai Vedrai che un sorriso
Nasconde spesso un gran' dolore
Vai Vedrai follia del uomo
Follia
Vai Vedrai che un sorriso
Nasconde spesso un gran' dolore
Vai Vedrai follia del uomo
Follia
Vai Vedrai che un sorriso
Nasconde spesso un gran' dolore
Vai Vedrai follia del uomo
Vai, vai bambino vai vedrai, vai
Vai, vai piccino vai vedrai, vai
Vedrai
Dove mancha la fortuna
Non si ca piu con il cuore
Ma coi piedi sulla luna
Oh mio fancillu(o) vedrai
Vai Vedrai che un sorriso
Nasconde spesso un gran' dolore
Vai Vedrai follia del uomo

Anita Drake - Surrender



Güçlü bir kadının sesi Dorothee Pierson, Anita Drake adlı Paris'li grubun solisti. Ve kadın dediğin sesi azcık güçlü çıkacak arkadaş di mi?

A strong woman's voice, Dorothee Pierson, lead singer of the parisian band Anita Drake. To call it a woman, it should have at least a strong voice no?
for more info: https://www.facebook.com/anitadrakemusic/info

Enjoy,

Could they guess that you would never surrender?
The brightness of your nights isn’t over and gone
Baby it’s alright, you just have to remember
That you were always made for the bright dawn
All that we have said about sticking together
But to me, you can never lose your crown
Baby it’s alright, you just have to remember
You’re the bad and the beauty and all I think of
And you’re gonna walk the line
Ooh is bright
Dancing all night
Ooh is right
Aaaaaaah
Every day
Like this day
Can be kinda tough sometimes but see the splendor
It’s not easy to make it on your own
Baby it’s alright, you just have to remember
It’s a gift sent from heaven to your soul
And you’re gonna walk the line
Ooooh is bright
Dancing all night
Oooh is right
Aaaaaaah
Every day
Like this day
We’ll be done, we’ve just begun
We need to kick it of, then
Let shadows play.
And you’re gonna walk the line
Ooooh is bright
Dancing all night
Oooh is right
Aaaaaaah
Every day
Like this day

Irma - I know



I'd like to tell you just a word
I am so sorry to disturb
You may be thinking I'm a fool
I heard you tell you don't care
I heard you think it loud and clear
It doesn't make me proud of you
I know you time is precious
But give me just a second
I need to straighten things out with you
You blew my hopes and dreams away
And there is not a single day
I don't fear the worst because of you
I know that it's not a dream
I saw, yeah I saw your scheme
I know you I know
I wonder if there's a justice
When I look right into your eyes
Those feeling never lie
My only weapon is this song
And you won't have to sing along
This is the story of my life
I know that it's not a dream
I saw, yeah I saw your scheme
I know you I know I know
I know that it's not a dream
I saw, yeah I saw your scheme
I know you I know

Calogero - Danser Encore



Medea'nın intikamını seyretmek...
tüm hınçlardan uzak ve tüm intikamları idam etmişçesine.
ve kahin olmak; kadın olamamaktan ötürü...
sonsuza kadar dua etse şu insan evladı,
kaç yazar daha yazar medea'nın derdini:
okuyan,yaşadığını anlamayınca?
kalbi közlemişler bi kere güzelinden...
söne de ekmek pişe üstünde yüreklerin! peeh! aman! ve bre!
Calogero'da bizim dediklerimizi demiş başka türlü... Gecenin tam üçünde.

Şiir, Medea adlı oyun hakkındaki yazımızdan alıntıdır. Meraklısına antik bir masaldır bu altı çizili geçitten varabileceğiniz. Medea, kahin olmak kadın olamamaktan ötürü...

Shefita and Sabbaba - Karma Police (Radiohead Cover)



Radio Pangea sağolsun, bir muhteşem cover daha keşfettik. Kültürlerin füzyonundan çıkma muhteşem bir Radiohead coverı "Karma Police". Shefita & Sabbaba adlı -zannımca- İsrail'li grup tarafından Orta doğu kostümüne giyinmiş, görüntüler ve orient müziğin imzası ara seslerle muhteşem hale gelmiş. Buyrun keyfini çıkarın! Solist Rotem Shefy'nin hem yorumu hem de kattığı karakter paha biçilmez!

Thanks to Radio Pangea I discovered another great cover! It's a magnificant fusion of cultures, a Radiohead Cover "Karma Police". A group - from Israil as far as I could tell - Shefita & Sabbaba has made the song magical with signatural mid-notes of orient music of middle east and tailored a great costume for it. Singer Rotem Shefty's own way of interpreting the song and the character that she contributes with is priceless! Enjoy,

Mr Slice - St. James Infirmary



so cold, so weet, so fair...
St. James Infirmary adlı parça jazz'ın ve blues'un her efsanesi tarafından seslendirilmiş. Louis Armstrong'un efsane sesinden dinlediğimiz ve Mr.Slice tarafından electro-swing haline harmanlanmış "So cold, so sweet, so fair" aslında klipte gördüğümüz neşeden ve swing hallerinden çok uzak anlamlar taşıyor. sabah sabah keyfinizi kaçırmayayım - danslar güzel, swing güzel :)

so cold, so weet, so fair...
The song St. James Infirmary was performed by almost all the jazz and blues legends. This version you'll listen is performed by Louis Armstrong but arranged in to electro-swing version by Mr Slice. "So cold, so sweet, so fair" tells actually a far more tragic story rather then the cheerful swingy movements in the video but i'll keep it to my self not to mess with your mood :) Enjoy.

I went down to St. James Infirmary,
Saw my baby there,
Stretched out on a long white table,
So cold, so sweet, so fair.
Let her go, let her go,
God bless her,
Wherever she may be,
She can look this wide world over,
But she'll never find a sweet man like me.

Andra Day - Uprising (Muse Cover)



we wish you a happy monday we wish you a happy monday we wish you a happy monday and a happy uprising.

Paranoia is in bloom, 
The PR transmissions will resume, 
They'll try to push drugs that keep us all dumbed down, 
And hope that we will never see the truth around
(So come on)
Another promise, another scene, 
Another packaged lie to keep us trapped in greed, 
And all the green belts wrapped around our minds, 
And endless red tape to keep the truth confined
(So come on)

They will not force us, 
They will stop degrading us, 
They will not control us, 
We will be victorious
(So come on)

Interchanging mind control, 
Come let the revolution take it's toll, 
If you could flick a switch and open your third eye, 
You'd see that
We should never be afraid to die
(So come on)

Rise up and take the power back, 
It's time the fat cats had a heart attack, 
You know that their time's coming to an end, 
We have to unify and watch our flag ascend

They will not force us, 
They will stop degrading us, 
They will not control us, 
We will be victorious
So come on

They will not force us, 
They will stop degrading us, 
They will not control us, 
We will be victorious
