Gölge Oyunu, is the Turkish name for an old storytelling tradition. This method uses cut-outs and light sources in order to cast shadow figures, which are then narrated by the puppet masters. Gök uses this name in a tongue-in-cheek manner in order to underline the Eastern/Turkish musical input that compiled into this new EP. He states that the amount of work and mastery needed to present these musical traditions in a manner true to its core, is what makes this work only a “shadow” of its inspirational source. “It is a lifetime of work and a connection to the land” he claims, “that makes the feeling in good maqam-based music so prominent. And I’m not sure if the synthesis me and the other electronic music artists around provide can be more than a game of shadows, but it is entertainment nevertheless.”

Emin Gök @s.emin.gok and Sercan Peşan’s @sercan.pesan new collaboration is a fresh addition to the Turkish Electronic canon. With its dark cinematic atmosphere, uncanny feel and retro aesthetic, Ecinniler is an otherworldy attempt blending disco and indie dance elements with traditional Turkish flute “Ney” and spoken lines of transcendent flow.
