"She is a singer and multi-instrumentalist, but her most important instrument is the bağlama, a lute with centuries of tradition, inextricably linked to Anatolian folk music. Derya Yıldırım grew up in Hamburg, has Turkish roots, and naturally combines cultural influences in her pieces. She studied classical music, played the piano, and immersed herself in Beethoven, Bach, and Schubert. Today, she and her band Grup Şimşek represent modern “Anadolu Rock,” a musical style that combines Turkish folk music with Western rock, among other influences. The band is currently on tour in Europe with their new album."

With 'Take Me Back To Nowhere', A.S. Fanning presents a work that does not dwell on answers, but rather asks the right questions.

'Lost in Your Garden' is jazz with vision: the new album from Ensemble Du Verre captivates with its clear forms, leaves plenty of room to breathe, and focuses on subtle textures rather than superficial effects. The project is led by Sönke Düwer, who sets the course as composer, drummer, pianist, producer, and sound designer. The album brings together sketches and ideas from several years into a compact whole: retrospective in its maturity, forward-looking in its sound. Planning and chance intertwine, motifs grow, new details constantly emerge, and the energy of improvisation and electronic groove keep everything in motion. The result is poetic, melancholic, and uncompromising, with jazz at its core and enough openness for breaks, melancholy, and light.
