Urban Modal, the fantastic Anatolian world music band who came in January 2024 to the studio for a demo (check that one out here), are preparing an album. They came recently to our studio for the first recording session. The band’s core consists of Dimosthenis Karachristodoulou on Classic Kemence, Loukas Metaxas on percussion, and Giorgos Vallianatos on Lafta. For these recordings they brought along Turkish singer Zekiye Yurekli and Saz player Antonis Ginosatis, both of whom they regularly perform live with in Athens. We had a great time recording, and everyone is thrilled with the first results. On one song, we managed to film the tracking live, of which the video has been released here on YouTube
