    Unspoken<\/em> is a captivating blend of diverse elements found in Southeastern European Balkan music. These elements are intuitively mixed with jazz, soul and funk resulting in improvisations that are formed by a shared sensibility for live-ensemble music creation. Except for Gone Forlorn<\/em>, which is based on a traditional folkloric melody, this virtuosic trio \u2014 Theodosii Spassov<\/strong> (kaval), Vlatko Stefanovski<\/strong> (guitar), and Alek Sekulovski<\/strong> (drums) \u2014 has artfully crafted nine original compositions while performing in a world-class recording studio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Beautifully captured at the Orange Lounge studio in Toronto, Canada, by Anthony Yordanov<\/strong>, the inspiration for this music was derived from a North American tour in 2022 involving Spassov and Stefanovski. Uniquely, Unspoken<\/em> has no bassist; the bass part is implied by the deep resonance of Alek\u2019s bass drum \u2014 the unspoken musical voice of this ensemble \u2014 with a compelling presence that may even evoke UK rave, Jamaican dub and reggae sound-system music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Alek\u2019s supporting drum grooves are infectious; Vlatko\u2019s guitar provides harmonic, melodic and rhythmic context for Theodosii\u2019s kaval melodies, whilst all three musicians play masterful solos. Occasional in situ dialogue brings the listener directly into the recording studio experience. Spassov\u2019s arousing melodies, Stefanovski\u2019s nimble guitar playing, and Sekulovski\u2019s unswerving grooves form an eclectic Balkan jazz music experience. \u2014 Eli Yordanov<\/strong> and Dr. Paul Novotny<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":7160,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":true,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"class_list":["post-7159","discography","type-discography","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
