SOPOT

SOPOT na staroslovenskom jeziku znaci izvor.
Balkansko poluostrvo sa svojim prirodnim bogatstvima, miješanjem razlicitih kultura i naroda je mnogim balkanskim, a i svjetskim autorima služio kao nepresušan izvor inspiracije za umjetnicko stvaralaštvo kroz muziku, teatar, film, poeziju i prozu. Nažalost, Balkansko poluostrvo je kroz svoju istoriju bilo preoptereceno velikim brojem ratova, koji su u mnogome unesrecili narode i ljude koji ovdje žive, a koji su uveliko slicni jedni drugima.
Sopot je zamišljen kao autorski muzicki projekat, umjetnika Petra Topalovica koji ce kroz saradnju sa lokalnim i inostranim muzicarima (umjetnicima) stvoriti fuziju balkanske umjetnosti sa modernom tehnologijom kroz muzicki izražaj. Autor projekta «Sopot» je kroz veliko muzicko i životno iskustvo, steceno kroz sviranje i ucestvovanje u mnoštvo razlicitih muzickih projekata, stvorio svoj vlastiti, originalni stil i pristup muzici i životu na Balkanskom poluostrvu.
Muzicki projekat «SOPOT» ce kroz jezicnu liriku, korištenje balkanskih etno motiva i semplova narodnih instrumenata, postaviti pitanje «Kako je moguce da su ljudi koji na Balkanu žive toliko slicni jedni drugima, a u isto vrijeme toliko udaljeni jedni od drugih?», te ponuditi konkretne odgovore kroz poruke mira, samospoznaje, poštovanja jednih za druge, razvoja ekološke svijesti, poštovanja ostalih živih bica koji žive na planeti Zemlji.
Album dUBaLKAN je sniman i produciran u studiju “Jarring Effects” u Lijonu, Francuska (u istom studiju gdje snimaju High Tone, Le Peuple De L`Herbe i dr.), aprila 2006. godine. U njegovo stvaranje, pored lokalnih, ukljucili su se i inostrani muzicari poput L'oeuf Raide, Uzul Prod, R-ZATZ, Niko Matagrin, što citavom albumu daje jednu dozu multikulturalnosti.
Album je zvanicno objavljen 15.02.2007. pod okriljem izdavacke kuce Menadžer Company, Banja Luka, RS, BiH. www.Menadzer.com
Ispekavši zanat u rokenrol i alternativnim bendovima Inkamna, Jubbooko sa Negrass, Revolt i Slavenski, autor je okupio ekipu odlicnih muzicara i krenuo na dUBaLKAN Tour 2007. Prva Sopot turneja!
As Sopot in OldSlavic language means a well.
Balkan Peninsula with its natural treasures, and by mixing up various cultures and nations has been serving to many of the Balkan and world authors like inexhaustible source of inspiration for artwork through music, theatre, film, poetry and prose.. Unfortunately, through the history Balkan Peninsula was over weighted with great number of wars, which extensively aggrieved nations and people who live here and are similar in many ways.
Sopot is reflected as author’s musical project of Petar Topalovic. In cooperation with local and foreign musical artists Petar will create a fusion of Balkan’s art with modern technology through musical content. The author of project „Sopot“ created his own style and original approach to music and life in Balkan Peninsula, acquired it by playing music and participating in various musical projects.
Through the linguistic lyric and usage of ethno motifs of Balkan and samples of folk instruments, musical project „Sopot“ is going to ask the question „How is it possible that people who live in Balkan are so similar to each other, and at the same time so remote from each other?“, and offer concrete answers through the messages of peace, self-realization, respect of each other, development of ecological awareness, respect of all other living creatures on the planet Earth.
The album „dUBaLKAN“ was recorded and produced in studio Jarring Effects in Lion, France (same studio where High Tone, Le Peuple De L`Herbe, etc. recorded theirs) in April 2006. In its creation were involved local as well as foreign musicians such as L'oeuf Raide, Uzul Prod, R-ZATZ, Niko Matagrin, which gives to album a dose of multiculturalism. The album was officially released on 15th of February 2007 by publishing house Menadzer Company from Banja Luka, RS, B&H (www.Menadzer.com).
Having learnt the ropes in rock’n’roll and alternative bands such as Ikamna, Jubbooko sa Negrass, Revolt and Slavenski, the author has gathered team of excellent musicians and started off „dUBaLKAN Tour 2007“. The first Sopot tour!
