 Composer and accordionist Nick Ariondo (picture right) has just released a new composition & video entitled “Bellowtranz” (Middle East Style).The composition is based on middle-eastern influences and experiences over the years performing in nightclubs on keyboards and accordion with musicians, belly-dancers, oud, doumbek, clarinet, guitar and bouzouki virtuosos. The rhythm played on the left-hand button side of the accordion is a popular slow 'tsifteteli' style usually played for belly-dancers where the dancer moves in an improvisational sensual manner, sometimes using small finger-hand cymbals. The music gradually moves into an invigorating upbeat two-four tempo. The video showcases the 'bellows' of the accordion, which controls sound, dynamics and accents. Nick Ariondo also applies additional percussive techniques to the right & left-hands with hand-slap effects, sound clusters and fast-finger glissandos gliding across the buttons & keys, all in character with the musical style.
