Musical Interlude: I love listening to Ippolitov-Ivanov while driving in the mountains. This evocative piece is a great tune for travelers.
"Turkish Fragments: 1. Caravan," composed by Mikhail Ippolitov-Ivanov, performed by the National Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine, conducted by Arthur Fagen.

Musical Interlude: I'm a longtime fan of Canadian classical troupe Quartetto Gelato, and this is from my favorite of their albums, dedicated to the Orient Express, and with pieces illustrating various stops along the legendary train's route. We have London, Paris, Munich, Vienna, Budapest, Bucharest, and finally Istanbul, which this represents. And I never thought accordion could sound so exotic. (Yes, they're oboe, cello, violin, and accordion...)
"Turkish Circus," performed by Quartetto Gelato.

I wish for nuanced conversations about #CulturalReappropriation, #Othering, #Exoticism, and #EthnicIdentity. In #HipHop and other forms of #ElectronicMusicking.
Thing is, though I have negative reactions to much of this, I also βgetβ it.
Something of a classic, for me, is a conversation between #StevenFeld and #CharlesKeil.
