One Truth (Turkey)»rank: 39339par: Omar Faruk Tekbilek
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Just a few years ago, 0mar Faruk Tekbilek could be found playing for belly dancers with his group, the Sultans. But with 0ne Truth, he further establishes himself as an artist to be reckoned with in his own right. The Turkish-born Tekbilek has been working a Middle Eastern fusion since his Suleyman the Magnificent soundtrack with producer-composer Brian Keane. 0ne Truth follows the trail blazed by the ensuing albums, such as Beyond the Sky, upping ... |

Crescent Moon (Turkey)»rank: 37272par: Omar Faruk Tekbilek
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Middle Eastern multi-instrumentalist 0mar Tekbilek gets solo billing for Crescent Moon even though it is produced by longtime collaborator and keyboardist Brian Keane. Keane also contributes as a musician, along with fellow synthesizer player Steve Roach and several other more-acoustic performers, but the overall sound is close to Tekbilek's roots and traditions. With a couple of exceptions (notably 'Salute to the Sun,' a heartfelt ambient piece with some vocals from Tekbilek), the 10 cuts are ... |

1987-1998: Dance Into Eternity»rank: 105265par: Omar Faruk Tekbilek
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Turkish born and bred, 0mar Faruk Tekbilek is a musician whose virtuosity is nurtured by grace and passion. Faruk can play just about any Middle Eastern instrument you can think of--the ney flute, the stringed baglama, the percussive dumbek--and he's a master of them all. But if not for producer Brian Keane, Faruk would be just another Middle Eastern musician playing for belly dancers, which he did for years with a group called the Sultans, ... |

Alif Love Supreme (Turkey)»rank: 96557par: Omar Faruk Tekbilek
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Music has been called the international language, and for good reason. Even when disparate genres or styles seem to have no relation, we can still make connections between them. 0n Alif: Love Supreme, multi-instrumentalist 0mar Faruk Tekbilek, producer and multi-instrumentalist Steve Shehan, and an international cast of musicians--including a Spanish guitarist and singers from Persia, Greece, Bulgaria, and lsrael--present traditional and contemporary renditions of songs from the Mediterranean. Whether they are performing a medley of ... |

Gypsy Fire Most Exciting Bell»rank: 38070par: Richard A. Hagopian and Omar Faruk Tekbilek
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Recorded in New York but featuring musicians of Middle Eastern and European origins well versed in Gypsy music, this is a lively get-together of great musicians and great music. Mostly acoustic in nature and featuring ud, zurna, ney, kanun, saxophone, violin, guitar, bass, and percussion, these 12 tracks romp through 10 tunes, many with vocals, that lovingly alloy the base metals of several Gypsy cultures. With headliners like Richard A. Hagopian and the acclaimed 0mar ... |

Mystical Garden»rank: 38070par: Omar Faruk Tekbilek
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Working with longtime producer-multi-instrumentalist Brine Keane, 0mar Faruk Tekbilek creates evocative soundscapes of Middle Eastern origin, both original compositions and arrangements of traditional material. Ney, kavala, zurna, baglama, oud, bendir and cumbus are set in a discreet wash of synthesizer drones and percussion parts performed by five members of his ensemble. The tone is light but spiritual, retaining an affinity to his heritage--but with a nod to contemporary New Age sensibilities, especially in the simple ... |

Beyond the Sky»rank: 38070par: Brian Keane & Omar Faruk Tekbilek
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Beyond the Sky is the third and finest of the collaborations between Turkish musician 0mar Faruk Tekbilek and American guitarist, producer, and composer Brian Keane. This time out, they were inspired by Bernardo Bertolucci's film, The Sheltering Sky, based on Paul Bowles's novel. The arrangements are lusher, the moods are deeper, and Tekbilek's playing is more soulful than ever on this evocative and emotionally charged recording. Even more than Ryuichi Sakamoto's score for The Sheltering ... |
