[edit] About
After the Fact is a 2006 album of Sabahat Akkiraz and Orient Expressions released by Doublemoon Records. The album came after Akkiraz musical journey that led her to meet Orient Expressions where they soon travelled and recorded the album together.
Orient Expressions provide the musical foundation for trained vocalist Sabahat Akkiraz by weaving traditional Anatolian music over an electronic, technologically enhanced base.
While centuries-old melodies fused with modern music and technological capabilities serve as a portal for the listener to experience Anatolia’s rich cultural traditions, the “Türkü” otherwise known as the Turkish folk song was used as a medium of expression, sheds light on different ways of experiencing joy and grief and enables a folk song first heard in an Anatolian village to be remade into a ballad that connects with the listener on a visceral level.
