ERDEM HELVACIOGLU: "ALTERED REALITIES" New Albion Records Here we have an album that could be classified as mysterious melodic Ambient, which, nonetheless, presents interesting ramifications towards Contemporary Instrumental Music. The guiding lines for the album flow along an instrumentation dominated by the guitar and electronic effects. The melodies and the atmospheres are highly evocative. This is a work where the wonderful skills the artist has in order to dive into abysses of sound can be fully appreciated. Erdem Helvacioglu has a wealthy background as a composer, which includes several albums, awards in contests and international events, the creation of soundtracks and his own work as a session performer musician. This combination of talent and experience boosts the innovative, vivid character of his musical ideas, and places him as a first-rate artist. EDUARDO FONTANA http://www.erdemhelvacioglu.com |
