Seyir Trio - Seyir Trio (2017)

Tristan Driessens: oud, lavta
Simon Leleux: doholla
Ruben Tenenbaum: violin

​“They know how to combine virtuosity with immersive, exciting beauty. In every way a world class album!” De Subjectivisten.

Driven by a common passion for Turkish Ottoman music, Tristan Driessens, Ruben Tenenbaum and Simon Leleux had a rigorous musical training allowing them to travel through the East Mediterranean to meet their masters and fellow musicians. When Seyir Trio was created in 2016, it was originally designed to be a reduced formation of the Lâmekân Ensemble. However the trio’s identity was soon revealed thanks to the strong human and musical affinities these musicians share when performing together. Every instrument – violin, oud and doholla (bass darbuka) – is played with solistic flair, enhancing both rhythm and melody. Seyir Trio reveals a rather remarkable story: three restless companions who found their way through the labyrinths of a foreign musical idiom. In this album, they welcome Tcha Limberger’s delicate violin and double bass.
