Jon Hassell - Vernal Equinox

Recorded in 1976 at the York University Electronic Media Studios in Toronto, Ontario, Vernal Equinox is Jon Hassell's first recording as a solo artist and sets the stage for his then-emerging career as a trumpeter, composer and musical visionary. "Toucan Ocean" opens the album with two gently swaying chords and delicate layers of percussion that provide a cushion upon which Hassell unfurls long, winding melodic shapes. His trumpet is sent through echo and an envelope filter, producing a stereo auto-wah-wah effect. "Viva Shona" features accompaniment by mbira, subtle polyrhythmic layers of percussion, and the distant calling of birds. Again filtered through echo, Hassell's gliding trumpet lines sound remarkably vocal. "Hex" features a bubbling, filtered electric bass part with a denser web of percussion. From his horn, Hassell elicits moans and sighs that are at first unaffected and later filtered. "Blues Nile" is a long, blue moan. Hassell's breathy, multi-tracked trumpet lines call and respond to one another, weaving a web of deep calm over an ever-present drone. This track clearly points the way to his later work with Brian Eno, in particular, their "Charm Over Burundi Sky." On the title track, Hassell's "kirana" trumpet style is in full bloom as he dialogs with the percussion. Hassell's most elegant melodicism blossoms forth here, and his unaffected horn often sounds disarmingly flute-like. The influences of his study of raga with Pandit Pran Nath are clearly discernible in the curvaceous melodic lines and overall sense of meditative calm within harmonic stasis. Throughout the album, percussionists Naná Vasconcelos and David Rosenboom add subtle, supple grooves and colors. "Caracas Night September 11, 1975" is a beautiful field recording featuring Hassell's plaintive trumpet commentary, subtle percussion interjections, and the sound of caracas humming and buzzing in the background. The first several tracks of Vernal Equinox bear the imprint of '70s-period Miles Davis, in particular the quiet ambience of "He Loved Him Madly" and parallel passages from Agharta. The envelope filter on Hassell's horn similarly draws a reference to Davis' use of the wah-wah pedal from that time. Nonetheless, in 1976, Vernal Equinox was remarkably unique and ahead of its time, and sowed the seeds of Hassell's influential Fourth World aesthetic, which he would continue to develop and refine. Decades after its release, Vernal Equinox still provides an enchanting and entirely contemporary listening experience.

Rrotullime rreth shpirtit

Eja , hape syrin e shpirtit

Eja,hape syrin e shpirtit

pa shikoji keta te dashuruar :

Si jane rrethuar krejtesisht

si nje zemer e vetme,

si kane marre formen e nje shpirti

pa duar e pa kembe.

Jane me te qeshur se nje bahce,

se nje trendafil.

jane me te drejte se dituria

me te afte se vete mendja

me te lire se selvia

Me te kthjellet e me te qarte se uji i pavdekesise

Jane perhere lozonjare si atomet.

Dielli eshte kaftani i tyre

E kane shkelur balten ,

mbeshtetur koken ne gjurin e zemres

Kane kaluar siper gjakrave

siper dallgeve te detrave te pergjakur.

Por veshjet i kane serish te pastra

dhe te paperlyera.

Jane mes gjembave , por si trendafila.

Jane brenda burgut , por si vere.

Jane brenda baltes ,por si nje zemer.

Jane brenda nates , por si nje mengjes,

Ti provo te pish nje here nga vera e tyre dhe shih

sesi papritmas, qetesohet

ndricohet zemra jote,

si harrohet cdo gje,

si fillojne te te qeshin syte.

Mevlana Jalal ad-din Muhammad Rumi

A hard day's night

© Eni Turkeshi Photography

It's been a hard day's night, and I've been working like a dog
It's been a hard day's night, I should be sleeping like a log
But when I get home to you I find the things that you do
Will make me feel alright

You know I work all day to get you money to buy you things
And it's worth it just to hear you say you're gonna give me everything
So why on earth should I moan, 'cause when I get you alone
You know I feel okay
When I'm home everything seems to be right
When I'm home feeling you holding me tight, tight, yeah
It's been a hard day's night, and I've been working like a dog
It's been a hard day's night, I should be sleeping like a log
But when I get home to you I find the things that you do
Will make me feel alright

Owwww

So why on earth should I moan, 'cause when I get you alone
You know I feel okay
When I'm home everything seems to be right
When I'm home feeling your holding me tight, tight, yeah

It's been a hard day's night, and I've been working like a dog
It's been a hard day's night, I should be sleeping like a log
But when I get home to you I find the things that you do
Will make me feel alright
You know I feel alright
You know I feel alright...

The pilgrim - from the turkish group Replikas

The Pilgrim lyrics:

I'm pilgrim in this world
I became a vagrant because of your love
I traveled in many countries
just because of you
Many bottles overturned in honor of your love
I remained soaked under the rain of love
I kept thinking of you all time all alone

I can't do it without you
I can't live without you
This rain of love
doesn't bring you to me


I became a vagrant
When I first listened to this song, I was so impressed of this heartwarming, naive song and of the video shot in the same style.It was very popular many years ago and I can say that this is the song i love best from this group.You may find the words a bit arabesque, but believe me it looks and feels very much different in turkish.Don't know why but i find this one very close to us albanians as well.What do you albos think?
Hopeall of you will enjoy it.

Rhythm in Galata Tower

Last week I had a great time at Galata Tower's Celebrations.Each year different activities are held under this wonderful old building, which used to be the highest building of the old Istanbul.One month ago , fashion festival of different stylists (well known or no-name ones) took place.But this one was really a different one.It was not just a concert place , different stands with antique and authentique goodies were present as well.You could perceive their nostalgic aura much better under Galata Tower.
The festival last 3 days and different programs and musician groups participated (French musicians from Burgogne-Morvan Zone , Indian music accompanied with sahaya yoga , Classical Music , Turkish Folk Music etc).
Also exhibitions with photographs from Galata, mosaic workshops were present.(that was the best part of course:) Also books promotions and diffferent dance groups made this festival even more vivacious.
We even had a tour at Galata and the surrounding places.This zone is very popular now , maybe because all of the artists have their workshops or working places here .It's so different from 10 years before and because of the popularity that has been growing day by day the real estate prices are so unbelieveably high!!
On Sunday , the last day of the festival , we had some great moments under the cool music of the Rhythm Workshop Of Okay Temiz.You could see everybody dancing or shaking their body (including me:))
