Triptych 4:37
The Tell 5:00
Teach Us to Pray 3:34
from Risha 2018
...'Risha' cannot be described in traditional terms. This sound is a sweeping tapestry of Americana, Neo-Folk, Industrial, Ambient, Electronic and Arabic Music. 'Risha' - which means 'Feather' in Arabic - contains 10 parts: Beginning with the mystic 'Tryptich' which is followed by the furious beat of 'All in the Palm'. Hacke and Edwards keep the pace with 'The Tell' and its driving industrial rhythm and break it down completely with track #4, “standing stone, Helios”. 'Kiowa 5' is shaped by fascinating drum patterns and the shamanic vocals of David Eugene Edwards. 'Lily' is the song that is inspired most by early Wovenhand, followed by the dark and hypnotic 'Parish Chief' with its almost Suicide-like vintage drumbeat, the drone excursion 'Akhal', before the memorable 'Teach Us To Pray' and the final and epic 'Breathtaker'. Each one a piece of the puzzle; made to be listened in its entirety...
Meybahar was born of a duo with Marilia Pilti (GR) on santouri (a cousin of the Hungarian cymbalom) and violinist Márton Kopcsik (HU) who plays his own custom-made instrument: a 5 string viola with sympathetic strings. When her santouri and his violin meet on stage it forms a magic atmosphere that drives you to undiscovered lands. The pulsation of the music is supported by David Krolikowski (HU) on percussion, Merse Varga (HU) on doholla and frame drums; and Péter Takács (HU) on tabla.
Abyss 4:06
Eridanus 4:53
The Bridge of Drama 6:48
from Abyss 2019
The music of Meybahar explores and resonates in hidden places of our soul, through a music fusion that delves deep into the music cultures of the Aegean Sea and Middle East.
On their first single album, Meybahar (Abyss, Fonó 2019) delivers a multicolored puzzle of melodies from different traditions, brought into a parallel music field through the band’s sound. Tunes directly inspired by Greek and Turkish music and original compositions presented by Meybahar, melt into a common path created by a dynamic rhythmical background of percussion with clear reference to Indian mysticism....
