Meczûp – Hanging from Purgatory’s Pendulum
Meczûp is an electroacoustic composer from Istanbul, Turkey. His primary compositional approach is that of concrete sounds, that is, music made from unconventional and non-musical sources. However, the music featured here is not his usual style but focuses instead on one unique source – the Theremin. One of the oldest (if not the oldest) electronic instruments still being manufactured and used today. (You can read more the Theremin here!) Meczûp’s experienced control over this difficult instrument does not go unnoticed as you’ll hear in his eerily drifting melodies using expressive middle-eastern scales, while granular swashes of echo and other effects make just the right accompaniment.
