Stilbeschreibung
Music of two distant, but emotionally near musical cultures, the clash of two cultures, lute and zither, drums and timbals etc.
A subtle sound painting, that ultimately shows how well familiar sounds (for example those of the ECM-School) scoop from foreign sources. My attempt, in comtemporary music as well as in ethnical music, is to create a mix between the Kurdish and Austrian (European, Latinamerican) music, without building artistic boundaries. As I have been living in Austria for over fifteen years, it comes easy to me and is at the same time very interesting and amusing. My main focus is on the improvisation. For me it is important to unite listeners from oriental and european music into one audience.
