Kismet is band of Macedonian heritage, signed to a California record label and
dwelling in Austrailia. How much more worldly can you get? They manifest these
world influences quite blatantly in their music. You can hear the Eastern
European ethnic stylings buried deep with the modern electronic percussion.
Tracks like 'Until the Next War' begin with old world wind and string
instruments then break into slow chants evoking a simpler time. Slowly the
electronics build, almost hesitantly. as if afraid to shatter thousands of
years of unblemished culture. I find this causal mixing of modern music and
classical enthology strangely refreshing. It allows Kismet to retain their
ancestry while working within the modern musical realm of computers and
artificial instrumentation. The old world and the new world mingle together
like good friends. If we could only get society to function this way, then we
would truly experience a golden age.
Kismet is: Gorazd Capovski, Pece Kazanovski & Ilija Stojanovski.
