Orphaned Land - recording ORwarriOR, a diary from the studio - Page 4

Yossi_Orphaned_Land · April 9th, 2009, 04:30 PM

These are Nay and Kawala flutes, not japaneese.
Yannick! so good to see you here my friend!! miss you both sooo much! :-)

Ko_B · April 12th, 2009, 04:37 AM

Salam alekum and shalom alechem to all the orphaned warriors

The last days in the studio were dedicated to a cleanning process of all the channels, it was boring and technic, but it's a must.
This week we will continue to record, we are suppose to record a Santur (which is a persian instrument) and to start some of the vocals parts (finally!!)

We'll keep you updated with reports and photos asap.

Happy passover!
Kobi.

Postmodernist · April 12th, 2009, 04:56 AM

Toda raba for all this info!

Santur sounds so majestic and sacred:

You Tube

I guess Chinese Taxkorgan and "Hammered dulcimer" of Ancient Greece/Europe evolved from Santur:

Tabletwister · April 12th, 2009, 11:29 AM

Thanks Kobi, yes finally, to start recording vocals!

Luthien32 · April 12th, 2009, 05:35 PM

I'm so happy to know that recording is in progress!! Since I discovered Orphaned Land (some years ago) I've seen no new release... I love the previous music, but I'm really eager to hear something new!

Thanks for your music! It's not only fantastic for its own, but for what all it implies

Ananth · April 13th, 2009, 02:16 AM

Postmodernist, is that youtube link of Pundit Shivkumar Sharma?? It didn't show up on my comp.

If it is, he is a proponent of the Santoor and its a very soothing instrument, a string instrument played like a percussion instrument. I would really love to hear the use of Santoor in OrwarriOr.

Instruments that I would love to hear in OL's music,

Sarod
Sitar or Veena
Balalaika

P.S.
Which is the instrument used in Zipporah before the laai-lai lai laah ?
It can be simulated on a guitar but It sounds more akin to a middle-eastern instrument [ Oud ? ]

Postmodernist · April 13th, 2009, 02:32 AM

@Ananth: the video is from http://santur.com. I guess that's Ostad Manoochehr Sadeghi playing.

Regarding Amaseffer's Zipporah, I believe that is Oud as OL are also using it often.

Ananth · April 13th, 2009, 10:39 AM

My little contribution.
This is a really good torrent, I have a few of those CDs
\http://isohunt.com/torrent_details/4...ic?tab=summary

Its basically famous Hindustani Classical artists perfoming duets known as Jugalbandis. Pundit Shivkumar Sharma with Shri Hariprasad Chaurasia[flute] and along with Ustad Zakir Hussain [the great tabla virtuoso]. Do check this out. Most of these artists completely improvise their performances with their prowess .

Ko_B · April 14th, 2009, 10:31 AM

More photos from the great percussions session we did:

Postmodernist · April 14th, 2009, 11:26 AM

Mm, looks intriguing and atmospheric.

Tabletwister · April 14th, 2009, 11:53 AM

Nice ones...the new storm is raging...

Messiakh · April 15th, 2009, 04:39 AM

Oh... my... GOD!

Subhanullah! You guys... I cannot believe it!

This album is gonna be a blast, I can't believe the effort you're all puttin in.

I honestly never expected to ever hear the Santur in OL, in fact I always wanted to ask the band to try it... can't believe they are going to use it after all! I LOVE you guys!

I can't wait for this album, I really can't... checking the pics and reading made me want to kill myself... lol I can't wait!

Just wondering... will there be any Arabic vocals? I really wish to hear Kobi singing in Arabic.

Keep us updated! ...Although... honestly I wish I hadn't checked this forum... I cannot stand all the excitement and the surprise might have been greater, once I hear the album itself.

Ananth · April 15th, 2009, 05:33 AM

I guess someone would have brought it up in this forum, over the years, but I am unaware. How does the right wing percieve their work?

Ananth · April 15th, 2009, 07:37 AM

I've seen Global Metal movie dude but I got only how the politicos perceived singing about the Holocaust, the Salem interview, but not about religious texts as you said. I'd seen the video you linked too, but I didn't exactly get a sense of how the right are reacting to them including Arabic elements?

Postmodernist · April 15th, 2009, 01:51 PM

Sorry for the confusion fellow. I'm letting the band respond

Overall, I love political context of powerful music (Pantera, Sepultura, straightedge hardcore). And I definitely see a strong pro-IsraeliPalestinean unity context in OL's music.

No friend, Qannun is an instrument, it's like a Middle Eastern Zither, it was played on the first two albums, check out the solo part in El Meod Na'ala. that's the wonderful sound of the Qannun!

Postmodernist · April 16th, 2009, 02:19 AM

Oops, true, tashakoor, I was wrong: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanun_(Instrument)

Yop, you are right ofcourse. Did you know they had the original player from el norra alila and Sahara- Abraham Salma- as a guest at their acoustic show in Jerusalem? The guy is from Egypt and a famous quannun player. It was wonderful to see it come together on the stage.

Ko_B · April 16th, 2009, 03:41 AM

That was some great evenning Nathalie!

Good morning everyone!

I'm going to the studio in a few moments, today we will start to record Shlomit and probably the Santur too, and maybe more. reports and photoss soon.

Greetongs from the orphaned warriORs!

Postmodernist · April 16th, 2009, 03:43 AM

I got a video from that Oud festival, and it's just wonderful - Kobi and Shlomit and Yossi with Oud and guest musicians.
Does any1 have any audio or video from that festival? Any official recordings of the festival available in Israel?

PS: Bismillah, have a creative day Kobi! Wish you great musical insights from the gods of light.
PPS: Pass my warmest shalom to Shlomit. I'm sooo much eager to get her solo releases!

Yossi_Orphaned_Land · April 16th, 2009, 06:52 AM

Many thanks for the great comments! We really work hard to bring you an epic release!
Messiakh - We do read your mind, appearently.. and not only for the Santur :-) Kobi will sing in Arabic in this album.

Recording Shlomit singing as I write these lines.. Pictures to follow soon ;-)

Here's a short video taste of what's going on in the Studio, from the percussion session!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fyz6ckmjCm0

Postmodernist · April 16th, 2009, 06:59 AM

Oh, we will go totally insane before the release comes

Maybe you guys could share some small short crude recordings samples as audio or video? To make us go even crazier waiting for the release

Hehehe you guys are magic! It's settled, this is going to be my favorite OL album

And yes Morticia NL

I read some info regarding Abraham Salman, turns out to be one of the best Kannun players in the world

My cousin who is a fan of Arabic music got shocked when he heard such great kannun preformance in a Metal song, lol I told him you should always expect the unexpected goodness when it comes to OL

And Postmodernist, I know you're dying to hear samples of the album as I am too, but I say no, wait... patience... and when the moment comes, it'll be one hell of a experience!

Okay I typed alot, I'll shut up.
