HASRET\u0130M (“My Longing”) is a musical search for cultural identity.<\/p>\n
In 2010, guitarist and composer Marc Sinan embarked on an unusual journey. The route led from the Black Sea, the home of his grandparents, to the border of Armenia.<\/p>\n
For weeks he and his fellow travelers find and film traditional musicians, try to penetrate their art and perhaps find the last musical documents of another present. Like everywhere else, traditional music is a dying art. The tradition of oral tradition is breaking down. The former Asiklar Kahvesis, clubs of “singer-songwriters”, are now simple tea houses. Only rarely do you meet young musicians like the kemen\u00e7e player Mesut Kurt from Trabzon or the singer Asiye G\u00f6l from Ordu. Very few of them make a living from music, but they play with great ease and virtuosity. Their music bears witness to restlessness and temperament, and in its diversity bears the traces of the cultural and ethnic wealth of Anatolia. In HASRET\u0130M, the musical found objects and video recordings of the journey encounter Marc Sinan’s own contemporary music.<\/p>\n
The revival ten years after the premiere is compelling in times of escalating geopolitical crises and wars in the region. Even more than in 2010, ethnic minorities and opposition forces in Turkey are under pressure. HASRET\u0130M remains an important artistic plea for the strength of cultural diversity and the unifying power of music and art.<\/p>\n
The new arrangement of HASRET\u0130M is for an international ensemble of eight musicians. Awarded the special prize “World Horizon” by the German UNESCO Commission in 2011.<\/p>\n
