"800" marks 800 years since Rumi's birth (the 13th Century poet and mystic famous in the West for its Whirling Dervishes). Mercan Dede has just named his new album like this in dedication to the man whose teachings are a powerful influence on his music and his life.

On "Breath" ("Nefes" in Turkish), the third release in the four part series that began with "Nar" ("Fire") and continued with "Su" ("Water"), Mercan Dede infuses his listeners with the refreshing quality of air. Although "Nefes" incorporates elements that can be traced to Mercan Dede´s previous two releases, the boundary breaking musical experimentation captured on the album results in a sound all its own. Melancholic and cheerful, on this album Mercan Dede carries out an organic fusion that captures the magic of the East, mystical elements, electronic tones, and traditional instrumentation.
