Saska

Concrete Music To Experimental Electronica: Asia

About Me

The idea of Saska rooted from a home recorded cassette of Savas Çagman Coskun; which is dated to January 1997. By the help of Sarp Keskiner's insistant encouragement, the project accelerated to a duo format of Coskun and Dönderici; mainly focusing on sound construction diciplines like microsound, random sampling and looping of sounds of any objects which can create a sound.In summer 1999, Coskun decided to experiment singing on those loops; while matching them with traditional music forms of Northern Asia and Caucasian regions like Ossetia-Alania, Karachevo-Malkar, Chuvashistan, Mari El and Sayan-Altay.During the discussional meetings in Ankara, in August 2002, Keskiner and Coskun re-shaped the sound scape of Saska: One foot on the vast land of silence; the other on the aesthetic knit of samples. Asymmetric symmetry was the seed of all ideas.Saska, names it pseudo-traditional concrete music; with a unique blend of Asian and Caucasian Shamanic musical traditions, featuring the colors of acoustic-electronica, breakbeat and some Brazilian grooves."Sure, a fly knows where to land; better then you or us"
