Yarkin Duo - One

As siblings born and raised in the same house, we brought together two instruments from differing traditions, the piano and the classical Istanbul kemence and formed Yarkin Duo. Independently and in unconventional ways, we focussed solely on the music that resonated with us in creating our compositions and recorded our first album One. In this album you are invited to listen to our improvisations, which are reflecting the remembrance that music is not different than speaking and expressing ourselves. We have been giving our dedicated care to reflect the authentic sounds of our instruments in our recordings. In our playing together you can find rhythms that source from both Turkish music and in between those rhythms you can also find Jazz sounds as well as influences from the Classical Western music traditions. Ode to what it means to come alive, breathe and become One with and through music. In honouring the beauty in what it means to be a drop in the ocean of music, in this album we hope that you will feel from your hearts what we have felt while creating our compositions...
