Uyum

Uyum (Harmony in Turkish) is a musical project that explores the modal traditions of countries as diverse as Greece, Turkey, Bulgaria, or Afghanistan. We understand that, despite their many differences, there is a link between all these musics, structured in a set of modal scales and rhythms, each with its own character and expression. Despite their long traditions (or perhaps because of it), it is a living music in which the creation of new repertoire and improvisation play an important role. Uyum offers a sound journey through the rhythms and melodies of the Near East, trying to offer a personal voice with their own arrangements and compositions, based on the mood of these musical traditions. Working with irregular rhythms, unusual scales, traditional instruments from different countries (Arabic oud, Greek lauto, Bulgarian kaval, Turkish dohola...), Uyum is presented as a window to new sound textures beyond the usual tonal music.
