Explosive, funky and transcendent. : :' ': ,: The world is rarely what it seems. A quick glance doesnÆt always :, : reveal the full truth. To find that, you need to burrow deeper. : :' Listen to Altin Gⁿn, for example: they sound utterly Turkish, ': ,: but only one of the Netherlands based bandÆs six members was :, : actually born there. And while their new album, Gece, is : :' absolutely electric, filled with funk-like grooves and ': ,: explosive psychedelic textures, what they play - by their own :, : estimation - is folk music. : :' ': ,: ôIt really is,ö insists band founder and bass player Jasper :, : Verhulst. ôThe songs come out of a long tradition. This is music : :' that tries to be a voice for a lot of other people.ö ': ,: :, : While most of the material here has been a familiar part of : :' Turkish life for many years - some of it associated with the ': ,: late national icon Neset Ertas û itÆs definitely never been :, : heard like this before. This music is electric Turkish history, : :' shot through with a heady buzz of 21st century intensity. ': ,: Pumping, flowing, a new and leading voice in the emergent global :, : psych scene. : :' ': ,: ôWe do have a weak spot for the music of the late æ60s and :, : æ70s,ö Verhulst admits. ôWith all the instruments and effects : :' that arrived then, it was an exciting time. Everything was new, ': ,: and it still feels fresh. WeÆre not trying to copy it, but these :, : are the sounds we like and weÆre trying to make them our own.ö : :' ': ,: And what they create really is theirs. Altin Gⁿn radically :, : reimagine an entire tradition. The electric saz (a three-string : :' Turkish lute) and voice of Erdinτ Ecevit (who has Turkish ': ,: roots) is urgent and immediately distinctive, while keyboards, :, : guitar, bass, drums, and percussion power the surging rhythms : :' and Merve Dasdemir (born and raised in Istanbul) sings with the ': ,: mesmerizing power of a young Grace Slick. This isnÆt music that :, : seduces the listener: it demands attention. : :' ': ,: Altin Gⁿn û the name translates as ôgolden dayö - are focused, :, : relentless and absolutely assured in what they do. What is : :' remarkable is the band has only existed for two years and ': ,: didnÆt play in public until November 2017; now they have almost :, : 200 shows under their belt. It all grew from VerhulstÆs : :' obsession with Turkish music. HeÆd been aware of it for some ': ,: time but a trip to Istanbul while playing in another band gave :, : him the chance to discover so much more. But Verhulst wasnÆt : :' content to just listen, he had a vision for what the music ': ,: could be. And Altin Gⁿn was born. :, : : :' ôFor me, finding out about this music is crate digging,ö he ': ,: admits. ôNone of it is widely available in the Netherlands. Of :, : course, since our singers are Turkish, they know many of these : :' pieces. All this is part of the countryÆs musical past, their ': ,: heritage, like 'House of The Rising Sun' is in America.ö :, : As Verhulst delves deeper and deeper into old Turkish music, : :' heÆs constantly seeking out things that grab his ear. ': ,: :, : ôIÆm listening for something we can change and make into our : :' own. You have to understand that most of these songs have had ': ,: hundreds of different interpretations over the years. We need :, : something that will make people stop and listen, as if itÆs the : :' first time theyÆve heard it.ö ': ,: :, : ItÆs a testament to Altin GⁿnÆs work and vision that everything : :' on Gece sounds so cohesive. They bring together music from many ': ,: different Anatolian sources (the only original is the improvised :, : piece ôSof÷r Beyö) so that it bristles with the power and : :' tightness of a rock band; echoing new textures and radiating a ': ,: spectrum of vibrant color (ironic, as gece means ônightö in :, : Turkish). ItÆs the sound of a band both committed to its sources : :' and excitedly transforming them. ItÆs the sound of Altin Gⁿn. ': ,: Incandescent and sweltering. :, : : :' Creating the bandÆs sound is very much a collaborative process, ': ,: Verhulst explains. :, : ôSometimes me or the singer will come in with a demo of our : :' ideas. Sometimes an idea will just come up and weÆll work on it ': ,: together at rehearsals. However we start, itÆs always finished :, : by the whole band. We can feel very quickly if itÆs going to : :' work, if this is really our song.ö ': ,: :, : Just how Altin Gⁿn can collectively spark and burn is evident in : :' the YouTube concert video they made for the legendary Seattle ': ,: radio station KEXP. In just under 20 minutes they set out their :, : irresistible manifesto for an electrified, contemporary Turkish : :' folk rock. ItÆs utterly compelling. And with around 800,000 ': ,: views, it has helped make them known around the world. :, : : :' ôIt certainly got us a lot of attention,ö Verhulst agrees. ôI ': ,: think a lot of that interest originally came from Turkey, plenty :, : of people there shared it.ö : :' ': ,: That might be how it began, but itÆs not the whole tale. The :, : waves have spread far beyond the Bosphorus. What started out as : :' a deep passion for Turkish folk and psychedelia has taken on a ': ,: resonance that now travels widely. The band has played all over :, : Europe, has ventured to Turkey and Australia and will soon bring : :' their music to North America for the first time. ': ,: :, : ôNot a lot of other bands are doing what we do,ö he says, : :' ôplaying songs in that style and seeing folk music in the same ': ,: way.ö :, : : :' ': : ' '.. ..' .. . :........... . . . . ............: . . ______________ ______________ \ / \ / \ / Shout out to all our homies from: \ / \ / \ / \ / iPC BOSS HiT2000 1way UKi i8 RNS \ / \ / RAGEMP3 MANDY DV8 pLAN9 BUTT \ / \ / \ / \/ ____ ____ \/ \ / F A N G \ / \/ 2 0 1 9 \/
