Wie sich ein Taksim in der Zeit entfaltet | Presentation | Sinan Samanlı
„How does time pass in a taksim?“ is a musical presentation on improvised makam music performance intended for an European audience with any level of musical training. Musical concepts that are essential in makam music, but absent/insignificant in Western music will be brought to the center of focus, therefore in addition to the discussion of the temporal aspect of makams, the key concepts of tavır(performance style), seyir(course) and doğaçlama(improvisation) will be introduced in context, observed in numerous recordings of established musicians, and commented on verbally and musically by oud player Sinan Samanlı and his friends.
In the aftermath of the presentation the guests are invited to stay for a little after show party to celebrate our first presentation row.
