SQUADRA OMEGA (impro psych collective – TV)
★★★
Music from the third eye
It is said that all empires are built upon the ruins of previous empires. It is said that destruction breeds construction. In times of deadlocked aesthetics and stylistic stagnation the time is nigh for a destruction of the old and the construction of the new.
From the rubble of a post-post modern world, Apollo is rising and he is accompanied by a tribe of psychedelic wasteland fellaheen – the Squadra Omega.
The winds are shifting, the fog is lifting and a new age is a-coming.
Spaceage Cubist-Free-Jazz clashes with Pygmy-Percussion-No Wave-Kraut Rock causing a sonic fusion leading to a complete derangement of the senses, an assault on the frontal lobe and permanent hallucination. This is music from the third eye.
Warning: Suitable only for sonic adventurers who dare to explore the darkness of the forest and the mystery of the deep blue sea.

KONSTRUKT (free music – ISTANBUL)
★★★
“Free jazz from Turkey” is more than a catchphrase when it comes to konstruKt. It is an ideal, an approach, a symbiosis of creativity and sound that evolves and blooms. The group brings an incredible level of energy and process into its music in lucid and inventive formations.” Mark Corroto (AAJ)
Biografia
KONSTRUKT was formed at the beginning of 2008 in Istanbul, Turkey.
The major breakthrough for the band was the recording with Peter Brötzmann who was visiting Istanbul for a concert, at the same year.
Recently, the band has been getting attention not only back home in Turkey but also within European improvised music circles. They have done recordings with some significant names like Peter Brötzmann, Joe McPhee, William Parker, Akira Sakata, Marshall Allen, Evan Parker, Thurston Moore, Alfred Harth, Eugene Chadbourne, Alexander Hawkins, Okay Temiz, Hüseyin Ertunç and performed at many prestigious international festivals / clubs such as Babylon Istanbul, Akbank Jazz Festival, XJazz Istanbul, IST. Festival (Turkey), Saalfelden Jazz Festival & Konfrontationen Nickelsdorf (Austria), Krakow Jazz Autumn & Jazztopad (Poland), Sant’Anna Arresi Jazz Festival & Tarcento Jazz, Villa Ada Roma, Fortezza Di Castelfranco (Italy), Radialsystem (Germany), Cafe Oto, Exchange & Islington Mill (UK), Jazz Im Goethe Garten (Portugal).
“Their acerbic razor-edged sound cuts through the morass of pulsed energy like a hot knife through butter. The music draws from the world music of Don Cherry, the electric Miles Davis era, Sun Ra’s otherworldliness, and the Coltrane-intonations of Paul Dunmall”
