On October 4, I’ll play a concert with the amazing musicians that are Shabnam Parvaresh on clarinets/effects and Sofia Labropoulou on kanun at exploratorium’s Klangbildung 24 Festival that is also a celebration of the venue’s 20th anniversary. Check out the full program at this link! There are workshops, book launches and an exhibition besides concerts.

On October 10, I’ll play two concerts in the Bonding Sounds concert series. The series is organized and curated by Zeynep Ayşe Hatipoğlu and Merve Salgar. The Bonding Sounds Concert Series brings together sixteen improvisers from Berlin’s music scene and international Turkish musicians. The concerts, spanning two weekends on October 10, 11, 17, and 18, will take place at two Berlin venues. The concerts are free of charge.

The first concert on October 10 will be at the Alte Feuerwache in Berlin with the classical kemenche player extraordinaire Canfeza Gündüz. This will be followed by the duo of Ufuk Elik (bağlama) and Zeynep Ayşe Hatipoğlu (cello). A third concert with all of us will end the evening. Check out the rest of the program at the link below. I’ll be there on all evenings to enjoy music performed by wonderful, mostly first-time duos.

Bonding Sounds on Digital in Berlin

On October 26, Only With You, my synth duo with Eliad Wagner will play a set at Richten25. The second set will be Eric Bauer. 

And finally, on November 1, I will play my new solo piece Spam Victim – Poems at the exciting solo concert series Super Silent for new, experimental and improvised music organized by the XJAZZ! Festival. Spam Victim – Poems is based on the contents of a series of spam emails I received over the course of 2024. My first Spam Victim album, Spam me Senseless, is available for download on my Bandcamp site:

The second act of the evening at Emmauskirche in Kreuzberg will be the drummer extraordinaire Philo Tsoungui! I’m really looking forward to hearing Philo’s set. Philo happens to be the drummer of the amazing rock band Mars Volta, by the way. Check out the full program of the series that’ll span three days:
