BAST - Bast
World
music, pop, dance, electronic music, influences of jazz and traditional
Balkan melodics – all that has met in the melting pot that after
intense and long lasting stirring gave birth to BAST project – an
album that elegantly weaves all these multicultural music elements and
forms a coherent whole. The history of modern music is the history of
fusions and reformations. Jazz, rock, techno, hip-hop and other pop music
genres were formed in that fashion – the fashion of melting pot.
The results are different but the methods are similar. BAST is an album
of contrasts that ignore the genre and cultural boundaries. It is not
a coincidence that the project came to existence in Slovenia, which is
the traditional crossing of Slavic, Germanic and Romanic cultures, new
and old. The BAST Project was named after the Egyptian goddess of pleasure,
presented by a cat shaped totem. During the celebrations in her honor
that took place in city of Bubastis, people sailed towards her totem,
drumming and singing loudly.
This album mixes the sounds of instruments from all parts of this world, that
is more and more multicultural and intercultural, where the borders are
more and more unclear. It is the “world music” with the groove
and classical pop melodics.
Fifteen
more musicians helped produce the album, among them were the jazz singer
Alenka Godec, American artist Ron Athey, New York singer
Evening Lategano, former singer for the German punk band S.Y.P.H.
Harry Rag, saxophone player Bogo Pecnikar, bass player Nino
De Gleria, guitar player Simon Pintar (Heavy Les Wanted) and
vocalist Call-Ya (ex- Heavy Les Wanted).
