The title
hidden tracks is
ambiguous. First of all,
the piece is almost
throughout imagined as
'multi-track', with
layers (in the sense of
sound tracks) that partly
overlay each other,
partly suddenly appear
from the background. The
composition deals with
'hidden' lines, sounds at
the perception threshold,
with side effects of the
accordion sound which
-observed, so to speak,
under a compositional
'microscope' - develop a
special allure: that is
the vertical component.
The title has also a
horizontal meaning: a
'hidden track' is a piece
on a record without a
track number that is not
mentioned on the cover
either. In most cases, a
'hidden track' follows
after a longer break
after the (presumably)
last piece on the record;
often this track contains
strange sounds, noise or
other surprising
elements. 'Hidden tracks'
are surrounded by a
nimbus of the mysterious
and subversive. This
effect is being used
rather often throughout
the piece: again and
again, it seems to have
ended but continues after
a pause. The expectation
of the listener and the
attentiveness also for
the tiniest events rises;
the performance receives
an almost scenic
character. hidden tracks
was partly composed in
August 2008 during a stay
at the Kunstlerhaus Lukas
in Ahrenshoop at the
shores of the Baltic Sea.
The work was accompanied
by many walks on the
beach - again and again,
I caught a sight on
tracks in the sand that
became overlaid by other
tracks, wiped out by the
wind and the waves...

It is not
only the great success of
Nathan Evans' re-release
of The Wellerman on
social media that is
responsible for the great
popularity of sea
shanties and naval songs.
Such songs create a
unique mood, a touch of
adventure and wanderlust
for the big, wide world.
Hardly anyone can elude
it and with Vahid
Matejko's Sea Shanty
Play-Alongs there are now
the most beautiful sea
shanties and naval songs
skillfully arranged as an
instrumental play-along
series for recorder,
flute, clarinet,
saxophone, trumpet (opt.
baritone T.C.), trombone
(opt. baritone B.C.),
violin, and accordion
(piano). The varied
arrangements have a wide
stylistic range and offer
echoes from rock, Latin,
funk, big band to
orchestral and Caribbean
influences. Thus, each
song has its own musical
and instrumental appeal,
to which the parts and/or
solos specially composed
by arranger Vahid Matejko
also contribute. The
original polyphonic
choral vocals are
replaced by polyphonic
instrumental
backings. Each of the
ten titles was recorded
live by excellent
professional musicians
and is available in two
different versions: ? a
demo-track which features
a live accordion
performance by Filip
Erakovic, a specialist
for classical and
contemporary accordion
music and docent at the
University of Wuppertal,
Germany. ? a minus-one
mix for you to
play-along. This
edition is also suitable
for accordion
players.
