Saadet Türköz, Elliott Sharp: Kumuska
Tutti i brani sono creazioni spontanee. I due artisti sono entrati in studio senza aver aver preparato alcun materiale ma in vista dell'edizione discografica hanno selezionato le parti musicali in post-produzione. Da questo punto di vista l'opera è un prodotto artistico originale, direi colto, che si stacca dal folklore.
Ovviamente i richiami ancestrali sono chiari. Saadet s'esprime in lingua kazaka (eccetto in "NYC" dove canta in turco) e rielabora creativamente nenie, invocazioni e cantilene, alternando testi personali a vocalizzi estemporanei: suoni dilatati, gorgoglii e quant'altro con la nota varietà cromatica e la vibrante tensione emotiva.
Un'opera singolare che si alimenta di contenuti archetipici e non ha riferimenti con la tradizione jazzistica eccetto il ricorso alla pratica improvvisativa.
