Dastgaah
Sote
SYNOPSIS
"A hypermodern version of traditional Persian music. Sote, who already released a single through Warp and a 12in.on Dielectric, now turns the music tradition completely inside-out. Ata Ebtekar, as the artist is called, returned to his home-country Iran last year to create a laptop version in which ethnic acoustic elements have been completely altered and put into new ambient propositions, giving the music a completely different framework. Reworked voices, glitchy high-pitched shards of sounds, alienated peeps and twisted snare-instruments have been glued together in such a way, that the originin can hardly be detected. A 34-minute long alienated drug experiment in the middle of a modern foreign desert country."
