Dream of Shams (Ikaru Rework)

09 October 2020

Welcoming a new member to the Halaken family, Ikaru breathes new life into one of Mercan Dede's earliest works, 'Dream of Shams'. Inspired by Dede's stewardship of world music and traditional Eastern sounds into the electronic realm, the young Turkish trio carry the torch as part of a new generation of electronic crossover producers. Carrying their unique voice, this rework is a fusion of the spirit of the original score, the raw voice of the electric guitar and the fresh power of synthesizers.

The story manifests itself as an illumination in the darkest of times, and realizes an intimate and unique understanding of Shams al-Tabrizi's dream. It reveals the connection between two seemingly distant but inherently unified stories: Rumi and Shams. As one of the most distinguished stories of companionship and love, they unite in the Dance of the Sufi -sema- as they follow each other in an unstoppable and ecstatic oscillation of light and dark, dream and reality, yin and yang.


This is an invitation to overcome and accept what we're all living through. In Rumi's words, "there is a great secret here for anyone who can grasp it'.
