The album takes further the modus operandi outlined on their critically-acclaimed \u003cem\u003eAs Ney\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the wake of that recording, the group toured the world from Rangoon to Washington, and this new one shows a real growth of confidence on all fronts bringing the music to the next level. \u003cstrong\u003eCyminology\u003c\/strong\u003e is a unique band, taking its melodic direction from the inherent musicality of Farsi, the Persian language. The sound of the language and the sound of the music are closely linked.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhere, last time around, \u003cstrong\u003eCymin\u003c\/strong\u003e drew on classic Persian poetry for her texts, now the lyrics are all hers. Love songs whose words suggest a broader meaning. The title \"\u003cem\u003eSaburi\u003c\/em\u003e\" means \"patience\", with its implication of dedication and commitment. On the tune \"\u003cem\u003eNorma\u003c\/em\u003e\", \u003cstrong\u003eCymin\u003c\/strong\u003e, using her voice instrumentally, offers wordless tribute to singer \u003cstrong\u003eNorma Winstone\u003c\/strong\u003e whose natural unaffected vocals are an inspiration - in 2009 the vocalists shared a bill in the ECM 40th anniversary concerts at Kings Place in London.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCompositions are all by \u003cstrong\u003eCymin\u003c\/strong\u003e with the exception of \"\u003cem\u003eHedije\u003c\/em\u003e\" and \"\u003cem\u003eHawaa\u003c\/em\u003e\", with music by pianist \u003cstrong\u003eBenedikt Jahnel\u003c\/strong\u003e and \"\u003cem\u003eAs maa\u003c\/em\u003e\" written by drummer \u003cstrong\u003eKetan Bhatti\u003c\/strong\u003e. Both \u003cstrong\u003eBhatti\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eJahnel\u003c\/strong\u003e make strong showings here as instrumentalists, as soloists and arrangers-in-action, helping to embody the emotional atmosphere of the songs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe album was produced by \u003cstrong\u003eManfred Eicher\u003c\/strong\u003e at Oslo's Rainbow Studio.
