Sinemis - Gazel by Injazero Records published on 2022-10-05T07:42:00Z Circassian-Turkish Producer Sine Buyuka debuts new solo project Sinemis with lush, graceful album ‘Dua’, gently combining the ancestral Sufi music of her homeland with sophisticated techno-inflected ambient. Gazel is the first single taken off the album. "Most of the Dua album is created with organic sources of audio and acoustic instruments, lots of creative audio editing and soft synths. However, Gazel is the only track that has a vintage analogue modular analogue synth at its core, a Roland System 100m. I started improvising without a plan and recorded bits and pieces for fun. A couple of months later, after my surgery when I was homebound, I felt like visiting those recordings and decided to use one as a basis of a new track. It was a recording done in a single take, later adorned with ney recordings, vocal chops, and ambient soundscapes. I wanted to see how I could integrate two instruments belonging to two different musical cultures to create something new and perhaps a bit mystical, marrying different musical traditions. The name Gazel, which refers to an age-old improvised singing form that is sometimes accompanied by the ney (or ud or tanbur) in Turkish music is also a nod to the production process – my voice being my synth." ‘Dua’ was also mixed and mastered in Dolby Atmos (available on Apple Music, Tidal and Amazon) to capture the immersive experience of Sufi music. Please note this is the binaural version of the track. Listen on headphones for the experience. Binaural and Dolby Atmos mixes by Tom Bailey (Air), mastering by Matt Colton (Metropolis).
