Teslim by Teslim Teslim : Teslim.
 Original and traditional acoustic string music with turkish, middle eastern and sephardic influences..

Teslim (Tes-LEEM) is a Turkish word that means both "commit" and "surrender," It is also a musical term for a "recurring musical theme" in Turkish music. Like a character who appears in a sequel or a repeating line in a poem, the teslim invokes a feeling of returning home. For Flexer and Hegedus, creating this music has given them a deep sense of coming home both personally and musically.

These two composers have been profoundly moved and inspired by the power of traditional Greek, Turkish, Arabic, Jewish and Balkan musics. Flexer and Hegedus listen to, study and perform repertoire from these traditions with reverence and respect. In their work as composers, they are searching for their own voice - one that takes inspiration from tradition and follows where it leads.

They feel fortunate to have found in one another a kindred spirit who shares a common artistic vision. For them, the recurring theme, the teslim, is that the trust they have in one another musically has allowed them to both commit and surrender to their own individual voices, hopefully creating something larger than either one of them. It is their wish that this voice reaches into you and that you are inspired to continue the cycle of beauty and hope.
