In August 2006 the well known composers, arrangers and producers Bekir Karaoglan (Killa Hakan, Waldemar Bastos, Levent Yildirim and others) and Andreas Advocado (Sultana, Tanmoy Bose, Aziza-A and others) recorded this masterpiece of acoustic live music in Detmold, a small German city in nowhereland, on their way back to Berlin after touring with their band ORIENTATION (current album “9 in Istanbul, 8 in Berlin†BLUEFLAME).Bekir and Advocado sat down for five days, with empty hands and heads, and recorded this music from scratch. Their vision was to record something immediate and intuitive that would reflect their feelings about live without any subsequent editing. They recorded exactly what they were feeling during the moment of the recording process itself. They wanted to be purely honest and sincere, about themselves, their souls, their music.The result, these seventysomething minutes of music, is a essential still life of Bekir and Advocado.No overdubs, no postediting, even no mixing. From the mikes to the tape. From the tape to the record. Don´t worry about possible ambient noise. Bekir and Advocado were moving, from violin to ney, from ney to piano, from piano to voice.The music sometimes sounds sad and desperate, sometimes wild and free, sometimes relaxed and contemplative. It is what it is. Not perfect, not polished. A spontaneous, unique, unrepeatable piece of work.Bekir and Advocado together form the legendary producer-duo ORIENTATION. They have produced and performed with many famous artists s. a. Tarkan, Sultana, Killa Hakan, Tanmoy Bose (tabla player of Ravi Shankar), Muhabbet, Richard Howell etc. They are constantly developing new talents from the multi-ethnic breed in Berlin, they are working cross-cultural with projects in a range from Persian classical music to underground immigrant hip hop.Besides their skills as producers and talent developers, Bekir and Advocado are virtuous musicians. Advocado is a bass-player, but plays acoustic guitar and grand piano on this recording, Bekir is a truly multi-instrumentalist and plays almost all ethnic instruments from the ottoman culture s.a. ney, darbucca, violin, piano and keyboards.The music is not released. Bekir and Advocado are looking for licensing, distribution, publishing and booking.
