Techno so complex, elastic and more vulnerable than ever before. Today the new album "HERMES" by composer, bassoonist and director BURAK is out. An album whose sounds merged into one sensuous and disquieting masterpiece, creating new, interesting sound sculptures through a dialogue between melodic techno, electronica and old instruments.
HERMES has a religious ritual setting at its core, using the Greek tragedy as the dramaturgical nexus for the piece. The choreographed sounds and the micro tonal score transport the listener through various chapters of a spiritual ceremony. With the completion of the nine compositions the audience is brought back to the starting point with greater awareness to witness the epic finale, thus completing the cycle of the ceremony.
"HERMES connects us to one modern tribe; it offers a seductive feeling of uniting ourselves to an ancient human being," explains Burak.
The album is available from today on all common platforms.
