Product Description
Product Description
Resonating Universes is a new collaboration between Turkish artists Erdem Helvacioglu and Sirin Pancaroglu that brings together traditional Turkish harp (Pancaroglu) with sound-sculpting electronica (Helvacioglu) into one continuously evolving soundscape. This is their first project together. In order to capture the widest possible range of sounds from the harp, a range of different microphones and microphone techniques were used - like special drum kick mics used very close to the bass strings, stereo mics used right at the top of the instrument, a microphone inside the instrument etc. thus mixing classical music and pop music production techniques. For the initial recording stage, they used every possible gadget imaginable on the strings, from bows to Ebows, from ropes to knives. The philosophy of this timbre exploration was to find new ways of expressing emotions using experimental recording techniques. The result is a superbly sophisticated and expressive work which blends contemporary experimental vocabulary with traditional, Turkish sensibilities A timeless sonic journey.
