Artista / Banda: Gökçen Kaynatan

Álbum: Gökçen Kaynatan

Ano: 2017 (1968-73)

Gênero: Electronic / Anatolian Rock

País: Turquia

Comentário: Nascido em 1939 em Istambul, este foi um dos músicos pioneiros na Turquia em adição de instrumentos eletrônicos às canções, apesar de gravar poucos compactos em seu estúdio particular, além de canções para a TV local.

Esta compilação da Finders Keepers traz 9 faixas, sendo algumas inéditas, curtas e instrumentais que combinam rock progressivo eletrônico, carregado de experimentações e "viagens" de moog, sintetizador (acompanhadas de bateria / baixo e raramente guitarra) e pitadas de música tradicional da região em algumas canções, podendo ser considerado um embrião do que viria a ser o Anatolian Rock. 

Apesar de um pouco datado em momentos, este é certamente um registro interessante para fãs de rock eletrônica / experimental.

Born in Istanbul in 1939, Kaynatan first came to prominence as a teenage rock’n’roller, including a stint playing alongside Turkey’s very own rock guitar god Erkin Koray. But it was his fascination with new technology and incorporating electronic sounds into music that really fired his imagination.
In 1972, he got his hands on an EMS Synthi AKS and never looked back, going on to pioneer a potent blend of Anatolian kosmische. Yet despite a reputation for innovative live performances, his long-standing distrust of the record industry meant he produced just two singles highlighting his unique sound, both of which are included here.
Do anın Ötesi brilliantly encapsulates Kaynatan’s aesthetic, lonely synth notes drifting against some bitingly grungy guitar while a primitive drum machine is pushed to its limits (watch the fantastic footage of him playing this on YouTube). The scratchy aquatic funk of Evren has the same maverick spirit of Can (serendipitously, Kaynatan studied in Germany in the early 70s), while the industrial library music of Cennet Dünyamız sounds like Bo Diddley played by a particularly louche robot.
Essentially a one-man Radiophonic Workshop creating his own sonic universe, Kaynatan’s music reflects a time when technology offered a happy – if slightly off-kilter – vision of the future. His work was a key modernising influence in Turkey’s popular culture and its self-definition as a forward-looking secular society.
