Cultural Echoes: The Influence of {Guantanamera
Noticing the unusual coherence when processing «Guantanamera» I wanted to see if this phenomenon would recur with another song in a similar language, so I chose «Bamboleo». This choice also brought back memories of my Uruguayan neighbors, who gifted me the «Gypsy Kings» album on cassette.

Patterns of Coherence: Discovering Turkic Elements in {Bamboleo
Once again, I was surprised to find a similar pattern emerge, where the Turkic elements told an intriguing story. Although the English translation was more disjointed, it still conveyed moments of semantic delight for me, which were relevant for the time this was made.

Harmonic Resonance: The Play of Homophones
I was intrigued by the homophone between “reign” and “rain” which introduced an additional harmonic that resembled “ring”.

A Different Drummer: Reflections Inspired by Thoreau
I heard the sound of another drummer, not falling to the correct beat--| reminding me of a quote from my Dad's book (On Parmağınıza On Lisan), from Henry David Thoreau: «If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer». It was just that section. I tagged that with the stamping Uludağ efsane.

Artistic Representation
motif: the crying kangaroo - redhead, a screwdriver, Uludağ efsane

 

Didn't enjoy the heavy disruption to my routine. Not looking forward to the next interrupt around the corner from now, but it should be a pleasantly hardcore reclusivist adventure when that's over. I'm otherwise not a fan of really bad screws ..or blunt kitchen knives. Frisson-Blecxghkt!
