New Video Series Combines Modern Urban Western Beats With Traditional Middle Eastern Melodies and Percussion
Stereognosis is a transglobal music project which combines modern urban western beats with traditional middle eastern melodies and percussion (http://stereognosticmusic.com).  Long distances were travelled to record an album involving 16 different musicians from 8 different countries over 4 years—-this album was released in 2010 and was entitled The Hybrid (http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/Stereognosis).  This album laid the foundation for a LIVE PERFORMANCE on 08/29/13, EIGHT HIGH-DEF VIDEOS of which were RECENTLY RELEASED ON YOUTUBE (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLtAQs848E0dQf-2tmmfZBZrBWLW1_36Yy).  
 
These videos included performance footage of Belgian Beatbox champ FATTY K (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTLoiiki98k), American beatbox champ BEAT RHINO (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qkXJtEWCeLQ), upright bass sensation MILES JAY (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-y2IV-O2zA), Turkish string virtuoso SINAN AYYILDIZ (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sh7q41H1ODQ), and Uzbek percussion master ABBOS KOSIMOV (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yp3SUZgWhwQ).
