product description:
With the
Kelebek / The Butterfly soundtrack, film producer
Mahmut Bengi has brought
Omar Faruk Tekbilek and
Brian Keane together once again to create the music to this mystical and tragic story. The result is remarkable and moving. The score to
Kelebek / The Butterfly effortlessly flows from East to West, from orchestral score to Turkish music, and into electronic sound design. The music moves just as effortlessly between moods, from mystical to tragic to suspense to folkloric or romantic. Whether it s the fusion of jazz and the red-hot Middle Eastern musicianship of
On The Move, the beautiful melodic and harmonic East-West mixtures of
Yusuf s Theme and
Zeynep s Romance, the Turkish-folk-meets-American-roots music of
Teacher, the simple and honest
oud and guitar collaboration on
Brother To Brother, the new age orchestra and
ney of
Butterfly, the moving and tragic
Yusuf Prays that features Omar s older brother Haci Ahmet Tekbilek on
duduk with an orchestral
adagio, Omar s haunting vocals over a multi-layered harmonium and sampled glass harmonica in
Losing Hope, the bizarre and wonderful combination of Richard Hunter s harmonica playing with traditional Middle Eastern folk music in
Street Fair (based on the Azeri folk song
Menim Canimsan), or the Dervish updated to hip hop/electronic trance in
Deep Blue, Brian and Omar continue to push the boundaries of musical tradition while simultaneously demonstrating a respect and affection for those traditions and their spiritual origins. Now in their mid-fifties, Omar and Brian have continued growing in their own worlds as prominent master musicians; this soundtrack for
Kelebek / The Butterfly is testimony that their friendship and musical collaboration are truly enduring.
