John Gibbons-Guitar, Tamboura

Michael Zanghi-Drums, Percussion
Alasehir is the project of Bardo Pond brothers John and
Michael Gibbons with drummer Michael Zangha. Unlike
the Gibbons' project Alumbrados, also being released
on Important at the same time, Alasehir is more rock
oriented, establishing a heady, heavy groove and jamming on it throughout.
“The ear of the musician detects a certain musical note in
every city which is different from that of another city. He hears
in each street a new melody, and to him the sound of wind in the
treetops of different forests gives a varying sound. In the Desire
World, seemingly, SOUND PROCEEDS FROM FORM. But in the music of
ALASEHIR it is different, for while each form occupies and obscures
a certain space there, form is nonexistent when viewed from the
standpoint of ALASEHIR. Where the form was, a transparent vacuous
space is observable. FROM THAT EMPTY VOID COMES A SOUND which is
the "keynote" that creates and maintains the form whence
it APPEARS to come, as the almost invisible core of a gas-flame
is the source of the light we perceive.” Michael Gibbons
