New Music Release Uzun Havalar by Anadol Anadol's third album, Uzun Havalar, recorded on tape by Kinship Records, is now available online and cassette format.  Uzun Havalar by Anadol Recorded and mixed in 2015 the album is built around three long synth tracks referring to the improvised unmetric folk songs “ uzun hava ” in middle eastern music.  You can hear drummers laughing and playing guitars, composers howling, screaming, record collectors playing synths, actors mumbling and tuning in to the geography of Anadol's synth compositions.  Anadol is a traditional continuation of lone synth experimentalists like Bruce Haack and The Space Lady with their childlike curiosity for electronic sounds, pushing the boundaries of minimal equipment. Composed, performed, recorded, produced and mixed by Anadol at Tempelhof Studios 2015. Mastering by Martin Bartscher.  Görünmez Hava  Voice: Suphi Sökücü  Additional Synthesizers: Emir Özer  Trumpet: Aşkın Kırım
