Omerar Nanda - Huma Kusu (Ipek Ipekcioglu Remix) Omerar Nanda - Huma Kusu by KYBELE A mythical creature of Iranian legends and fables, the Huma bird is also a common motif in Sufi and Diwan poetry. Although there are many legends about this bird, common to all is that the Huma is said never to land on the ground, and instead lives its entire life flying invisibly high above the earth.  Omerar Nanda's "Huma Kusu" takes its inspiration from an old Anatolian folk song. Once upon a time in Turkey, there were two passionate lovers: Mustafa and Gülbahar. The day after their wedding, the state called all young men of the country to the military. Mustafa left home, knowing that maybe he would never see Gülbahar again. Years passed, no news of Mustafa arrived. His family lost all hope. Gülbahar went out to the garden every morning and waited for his return. With each passing day, she cried and cried, until her tears dried up. Heartbroken by this loss, Mustafa’s father...

NMR Artist Spotlight: Eclectic Musician Seychal-Mills on the Pink Panther Theme Mashup Thoughts from the Artist The idea behind this album was to build music only with sounds taken from movies from the 1960's – noises, voices, and tiny bits of music (a piano sound here, a trumpet there, two notes played by a guitar...). The result is a blend of electronica, concrete music and, of course, cinematic music. Actually, I'm planning a few performances with this music, and already working on the next LP, which is not sample-based. About the artist Seychal-Mills A track entirely made of sound material coming from the movie "A shot in the dark" (Blake Edwards, 1964) – yes, it's one of the "Pink Panther" movies Film(is)music by Seychal-Mills

  NMR ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: Vocal Duet DeLissana NMR interviews the Sister Act DeLissana about their inspiration, background, and their love of singing. What inspires your music? What is your story ? Since we are sisters, our first inspiration was during our childhood when we LOVED and continually sang and performed together.   Our mom, an accomplished opera singer, her brother a doctor of music, our aunt another doctor of music, and cousins are all either musicians, singers or dancers.   It is in our blood.   Diana, a classically trained musician (a College of Wooster Grad with a Degree in Music & Vocal Performance) played the piano, and accompanied Elissa's many instrumental, vocal and dance solos. We both studied piano under the late, great concert pianist Marianne Mastics.   Our childhood living room was our very first "stage" as we amused ourselves for hours performing along with recordings and television variety shows.   Li...
