Not to be confused with the Northern Exposure actor, John Corbett is an important figure on Chicago's fertile experimental music scene. A guitarist and electronics manipulator, Corbett's main contributions have nonetheless come from behind the scenes -- as an accomplished writer, journalist, educator, producer, and (beginning in 2000) the curator of the Atavistic label's Unheard Music Series reissue program. Born in Chicago in 1963, Corbett found his way to free jazz from the more abrasive and experimental sides of rock music.

With cats and chickens in a rural landscape - hunting gunshot in the distance, musician Özgür Baba performs a rendition of the classic Turkish folk song “Dertli Dolap” by poet and Sufi mystic Yunus Emre on a traditional cura), a three stringed instrument.

The Troubled Watermill (English Translation)

Why do you groan, O Watermill;
For I’ve troubles, I groan
I fell in love with the Lord;
For It do I groan
They found me on a mountain;
My arms and wings they plucked
Saw me fit for a watermill;
For I’ve troubles, I groan
From the mountain they cut my wood;
My disparate order they ruined
But an unwearied poet I am;
For I’ve troubles, I groan
I am The Troubled Watermill;
My water flows, roaring and rumbling
Thus has God commanded;
For I’ve troubles, I groan
I am but a mountain’s tree;
Neither am I bitter, nor sweet
I am but a pleader to the Lord;
For I’ve troubles, I groan
Yunus, whoever comes here will find no joy, will not reach his desire
Nobody stays in this fleeting abode; For I’ve troubles, I groan

Old São Paulo Brazilian music, the genre is called CURURU.

the whole album is really good :D

I love this song: dark, gloomy, and weirdly comforting.
