Based
within Turkish, Arabic, Balkan, Persian, Medieval European and Indian
musical traditions, Stellamara creates original evocative soundscapes
that are now considered to be a new model in contemporary world music. |

At
its core is vocalist Sonja Drakulich and multi-instrumentalist Gari
Hegedus. Their music features the talents of sound designer Jaime Paulos
and percussionist Susu Pampanin and Tobias Roberson. Together they beautifully
express their devotion to the music of these cultures with both original
and traditional compositions. Their incorporation of subtle atmospheric
backdrops and sound design is uniquely created from primarily acoustic
sources such as the yayli tambur, viola, ney and zurna. The result of
this creation is a sublime new level of mystery, beauty and depth.

This is world music for another world- one well worth a visit.” - Cosmik Debris Stellamara somehow manage to maintain a balance of reverence for the music of other peoples’ cultures with a haunting elegance of expression - Electronic Musician “Exotic instruments have been carefully and gently molded to form an other-worldly base for the evocative, gossamer rich as a golden bell voice of Sonja Drakulich. Stellamara is steller.” - Anodyne |
