Psychedelic Rock erlebte in den 60er- und 70er Jahren in der Türkei eine echte Hochphase und genoss weltweite Aufmerksamkeit. Nachdem Bassist JASPER VERHULST einst mit JACCO GARDNER in Istanbul performte, war er unmittelbar fasziniert vom Sound der Türkei der 70er Jahre. Mit ALTIN GÜN (Dt. Goldener Tag) machte er es sich zur Aufgabe, diesen Sound wiederzubeleben
und als er mit seinen Musikerkollegen BEN RIDER, NIC MAUSKOVIC (THE MAUSKOVIC DANCE BAND) und GINO GROENEVELD (JUNGLE BY NIGHT) über Facebook auf die beiden Sängerinnen MERVE DASDEMIR und ERDINC YILDIZ ECEVIT traf, war die Band komplett.
Bei ALTIN GÜN werden neben Gitarre, Bass und Schlagzeug auch immer wieder orientalische Instrumente eingesetzt, mit Wah-Wahs werden Gitarren verzerrt und fuzzy Sounds eingebaut. Durch den frischen Sound und einige westliche musikalische Einflüsse wird der Anadolu Rock aufgefrischt und passt hervoragend in unsere Zeit. Sie singen von Liebe, Tod, Sehnsucht und Schicksal, gepaart mit einer Musik, die uns bekannt vorkommt, aber anders ist. Sowohl mit Coverversionen von Künstlern wie SELDA BACAN, BARI MANÇO oder ERKIN KORAY als auch mit eigenen Arrangements türkischer Traditionals wissen ALTIN GÜN zu überzeugen. Sie mischen Ebendiese mit Psychedelia, Funk und Psychrock und erschaffen so einen höchst tanzbaren Genre-Mix, der seinesgleichen sucht.
»In the universe, there are things that are known, and things that are unknown, and in between, there are doors«, nineteenth century poet and novelist William Blake once beautifully suggested. To discover new things you sometimes need someone to open a door between the known and the unknown. Altin Gün (»Golden Day«) is the band holding that door handle. And when the door swings open you smell, feel and hear a mix of sounds you may have heard before separately but never in this brilliant new context that sounds totally new.
On their debut album »On« (Bongo Joe Records), the band show what happens when you open doors between Turkish folk songs which were passed on from generation to generation on the one hand and a dirty blend of funk rhythms, wah-wah guitars and analogue organs on the other. The Amsterdammers who come from various backgrounds (Turkish but also Indonesian and Dutch) comfortably create their work in the adventurous no-man’s land that exists between these two worlds.
Older generations of Turkish musicians have also experimented with opening doors between previously unconnected sonic worlds. During the seventies, artists such as Baris Manço, Selda Bağcan and Erkin Koray practiced a way of songwriting and composing similar to Altin Gün’s. They took the music played during the festive occasions and serious formalities of their childhood, folk songs backed by a traditional Turkish string instrument called the saz. To this, they added the techniques and vibes of their times and the result then went on to become a distinct Turkish sound during 1972-1977 which even today still sounds rich, danceable and (alright then!) heavily mind bending.
The Altin Gün band members first encountered this music in various ways: through their up bringing, via friends or after finding life changing compilations in record shops. Their own personal discoveries eventually led them to collectively open doors to crowds everywhere across Europe, from the Into the Great Wide Open festival in Netherlands to Istanbul, from Ghent to Geneva and from Ravenna back to Amsterdam; people all across Europe fell in love with Altin Gün’s unusual combination of familiar sounds.
Manço, Bağcan and Koray have all influenced Altin Gün, but theirfore most inspiration is Neşet Ertaş, a Turkish folk musician whose musical legacy is invaluable. Comparisons are almost impossible to make but imagine someone with the same impact and status as Bob Dylan or George Gerschwin and you’re getting close. Many of the songs he wrote have become standards in Turkey, national treasures which are cherished up until the present day. Altin Gün retain the lyrical and thematic structure of Ertaş’s songs, though they often alter their time signatures and add fuzzy bass sounds, sweltering organ sounds and raw saz riffs. Ertaş wrote the majority of the songs on the album even if these are hardly recognisable after all the work Altin Gün have done on them.
The songs have universal the messuch as love, death, desire and destiny. It is touching music that makes you want to move and massages your soul all at once. Music that sounds familiar but different. Music that’s deeply emotional even for someone who doesn’t speak a word of Turkish.
Let Altin Gün open that door for you and get ready to indulge in their fresh and beautiful sound.
