The Musical Workshop “Labyrinth” was launched in 1982 by Ross Daly and since 2002, it is located in the village of Houdetsi, on Crete.
Labyrinth organizes:
• Concentrated weekly music lessons, "Open" and "Master Classes", which focus primarily on the modal musical traditions of the world (Balkans, Middle East, Central Asia, India, North Africa, etc.)
• Concerts & Events, with the participation of outstanding teachers/ musicians - the prime representatives of these traditions.
Labyrinth’s goal is the initiation of primarily young people into a creative approach to traditional musical idioms from various parts of the world. It is a meeting point for musicians and students and it is widely recognized as a leading force with respect to education, in the field of modal and traditional music in general.
This music is so profound i can't find proper words to express my admiration and respect. Thank you dear people for bringing this to our world! You definitely help healing it
What a divine and beautiful voice you have Veka. You and all the musicians are very talented. I really enjoyed listening to you. Thank you all so much. ✨
Dear Labytinth, i am admiring your works always. Could you please help me with lavta tuning? How can i find detailed information regarding this issue? Love and regards from Turkia
The lafta is traditionally tuned la, re, la, re (starting from the high pitched string (la) going down to the low pitched string (re). In other words two perfect fifths separated by a perfect fourth. The high string of the lafta is tuned to the same pitch as the second string of the Turkish oud
@@rossmdaly I am very pleased that you are the one who answered sir. I am a huge fan of yours. My father bought me a lavta after my college graduation because i admired it after seeing your performance with the lavta that Ragıp Akdeniz made for you. Sir actually i need more information regarding the tuning. For example it is tuned DADA but do you call them Re-La-Re-La or Sol-Re-Sol-Re like bolahenk mod? If so, when you play maqam that is La-based(E for bolahenk) like hicaz or uşşak; do you press the first finger at the top strings and 3rd strings for La note? I am not very sure if i explained myself totally i hope i did. Thank you very much
@@hahuya The DADA tuning is what the notes actually are on a piano. In the Turkish system however (bolahenk) we call them Re Sol Re Sol (from high pitch to low). Therefore the first string is Neva, the second Rast, the third Yegâh and the fourth Kaba Rast. To play Hicaz, Uşşak etc. Dügâh, the tonic, is the second degree on the second string (rast)
@@rossmdaly very clear explanation sir thank you very much! Do Greeks use the same bolahenk system or they call piano La as it is? If for example i would like to play Lokasti's dream (i am not sure but i assume that it is hicaz) should i play on piano A or 2nd string second degree(E)? it is my last question thank you very much for your patience and help. And could you please tell me how can i attend your concerts, are all your concerts in Crete? Best Regards
The lavta custom made for me by Ragıp Akdeniz in 1985 however is a very different instrument. It is much bigger than a standard lavta and it uses metal strings and a tuning (from high pitch to low) EBEB.
Kaç kez dinledim belli değil... Siz büyücü falan olmalısınız. Umarım Emin Alper gibi harika yönetmenlerle daha pek çok iş yaparsınız. Muhteşem bir uyum yakalamıştınız çünkü. Hepinize sevgiler...
