I was going through some music I listened to over 20 years ago, including this very nice Bulgarian Kyuchek:

A "Kyuchek" is a Bulgarian Roma ("Gypsy") dance form, which has a specific (and infectious) rhythm and a grounding in makam tonality. (Traditional Bulgarian tunes have some makam influence, but rarely use microtones. So Roma music is noticeably distinct.) (In neighboring Balkan countries it's "Chochek".)

The tune above is recorded by non-Roma prior to the fall of communism. They did very well, considering, and I find it a very compelling tune.

It occurred to me: what are Bulgarian Roma doing these days, and is there still an audible connection to makams?

The answers are yes, and yes. I present to you: "The Bitcoin Kyuchek".

Second day of another very intensive and enriching tanbur and makamworkshop by Murat Aydemir, this time in Cologne (with the carnaval raging outside).

I am looking for an open source app I can use on my phone or tablet with which I can tune to specific microtonal scales so I can play microtonal music, primarily Turkish makamsal müziği.

Any hints?

Quelques souvenirs de la semaine passée au 104, c’était trop génial :

*j’ai bien avancé sur mon installation avec 5 amplis
*enregistré de la nouvelle musique
*fait une sortie de résidence pour l’équipe du lieu et une autre pour les amis
*filmé en live avec le poto @dimo.waw (il a pris les photos aussi)
*j’ai enfin compris ce que je voulais faire avec mon install’

Vivement la suite 🙃

Alaturka Pop Fasıl (Istanbul Songs) – Ergin Kızılay Full Album - YouTube

Treat yourself to warm Ottoman microtones!

I think there's a drum machine but everything else is golden, especially the singing.

Turkish friends had us over for Iftar last night. I think they know all of these songs.
