Omar Faruk Tekbilek - The Longing!

A masterpiece from the original motion picture soundtrack album from the Turkish movie "Kelebek" (2009, "The Butterfly", Director: Cihan Taskin). The music is composed by Brian Keane and Omar Faruk Tekbilek. Listen & Enjoy it (& sorry for the "sad collage").

Found on Internet:
"Brian Keane and Omar Faruk Tekbilek met more than two decades ago when Brian Keane discovered Omar playing in a club in New York, and hired him to play on his score to the Suzanne Bauman documentary about the art of the Ottoman Empire "Suleyman the Magnificent" in 1987. German record company owner Eckart Rahn noticed the music when the program aired and released the soundtrack on his Celestial Harmonies label. Their collaboration would grow to become among the most influential in both Eastern and Western music, pushing the boundaries of musical, spiritual, and geographical traditions. Since their initial work together, Brian Keane has become a Grammy winning record producer of over 100 records, and a multiple Emmy award winning film and television composer of over 400 films, while Omar Faruk Tekbilek has grown to become an international recording artist and concert musician, and one of the most well known and influential Turkish musician's in the world. Over the years, Omar and Brian have continued to work together, with Brian serving as producer and a composer on many of Omar's recordings, and Omar making the occasional appearance on Mr. Keane's film scores. Their last record collaboration together however, was the 1993 classic recording "Beyond The Sky" and their 1990 record "Fire Dance" was nominated for a Grammy.
With the "Kelebek" ("The Butterfly") soundtrack, film producer Mahmut Bengi has brought Brian Keane and Omar Faruk Tekbilek together once again to create the music to this mystical and tragic story. The result is remarkable and moving. The score to Kelebek effortlessly flows from East to West, from orchestral score to traditional Turkish music, and into electronic sound design. The music moves just as effortlessly between moods, from mystical to tragic to suspense to folkloric or romantic. Whether it is the fusion of Jazz and red hot Middle Eastern musicianship...The beautiful melodic and harmonic East West mixtures of "Yusuf's Theme" and "Zeynep's Romance".....Brian and Omar continue to push the boundaries of musical tradition while simultaneously demonstrating a respect and affection for those traditions and their spiritual origins. Now in their mid fifties, Brian and Omar have continued growing in their own world's as prominent master musicians.."
