Modern Tango World #5 (Mexico)

Organito De La Tarde Inspired by a tango song from Carlos Di Sarli Orchestra, 1951
Murat’s lectures on tango music have given rise to
a new conception that he calls Music Paintings. The
paintings evolve from simple illustrations and animations,
presenting the viewer with the structure
and essence of the music itself. His lectures provide
an opportunity to deepen the understanding
of these paintings, and the intricacies of the
structure, harmony, orchestration, and melodies in
the music.
The original paintings are done in acrylics and
represent a true desire to accurately and faithfully
portray, visually, some of the greatest tango music
ever produced. Songs such as Organito De La Tarde,
Poema, S.O.S. and most recently Indio Manso. This
year, Murat began a motion capture project at the
Interactive Institude of Umeå University. His new
artistic work involves creating printable 3D digital
sculptures made of movement of his dance with his
new partner Sigrid Van Tilbeurgh
