Multi-instrumentalist Setrak Bakirel, a core member of the French progressive band Asia Minor, co-wrote the music with Turkish composer Ozan Garip Sahin for the original soundtrack album of the Turkish director Yilmaz Guney's film "Le Mur, an original soundtrack album directed by Turkish director Yilmaz Guney. Released on Saravah, a label founded by Pierre Barouh, one of France's leading composers. The album features chants and sazoos by Ozan Garip Sahin, guitar and mandolin by Setrak Bakirel, keys by Asia Minor member Robert Kempler, and nay by Ali Dede. The album features not only the traditional Turkish musical style, with Sazou's oriental scales that create a sense of sadness and Ozan Garip Sahin's spiritual chants, but also Robert Kempler's synthesizer, which absorbs the essence of various ethnic music and kraut music. The highlight of this album is the introduction of synthesizers by Robert Kempler, and the fantastic songs with deep ambience reminiscent of Popol Vuh, a krautrock band that absorbs the essence of various ethnic music, and Stephan Micus, a folk instrumentalist who has released works on the ECM/JAPO label.
