The newly founded ensemble Zençir, making its debut at Salam Music, merges historical and contemporary soundscapes, drawing inspiration from the musical collection of the Moldavian prince, polymath, and tanbur virtuoso Dimitrie Cantemir (Kantemiroğlu). During his time in Constantinople between 1690 and 1700, Cantemir compiled over 350 Ottoman instrumental compositions, recording them in a notation system he developed himself.
Bringing these works to life, particularly Cantemir’s own compositions, are Georg Vogel, known for his innovative musical experiments and self-developed Claviton; virtuoso oud player and renowned instrument maker Karim Othman-Hassan; drummer Valentin Duit; and Pamelia Stickney on the captivating theremin. Together, they create a new sonic landscape that remains faithful to the detailed musical legacy of the Ottoman scholar while enriching it with a contemporary musical language.
Karim Othman Hassan – Oud
Pamelia Stickney – Theremin
Georg Vogel – Claviton, Klavier
Valentin Duit - Drums
