RE: Nathan Kaye "One Man Symphony" Review For Bands About Bands S02E03
Teşekkür ederim @allbums!
Thank you so much for such a beautiful review of my music work, my friend.
It was such a wonderful surprise to see this today!
Did you know that I've been to Turkey?
I toured there in my twenties for the world theatre festival with my acting group. It was such an incredible experience!
The traditional music I heard in Turkey blew my mind and opened my mind to new rhythms and scales. My favourite time signature that I heard in Instanbul is 9/8, which I've included in a song that I will be releasing on my next album.
I bought a Turkish darabuka whilst I was there and eventually ordered a Cümbüş, which I love playing, especially with didgeridoo.
My experience in Turkey of the Turkish people was beautiful. Such friendly people.
Wherever I travel I always tell people that the most friendly people I've met were in Turkey and also in Ireland.
Anyway,
Blissful blessings and smiles
in joy

Ah I havent got any idea, hope you liked our city but after your visit its changed dramatically. People become more arrogant and city got less green :( I'm looking forward to hear your new 9/8 song quite excited about it! I had cümbüş its like an eastern banjo. Its actually invented by cooking pan :D Thank you for such a thoughtful comment. I'm happy that you've liked it :) Much love and respect :)
I love Turkey! The morning that I arrived in Instanbul was electrifying. I was exhilarated by the sights, the sounds and the people!
Something intense happened in Taksim Square that morning on some big festive day, just next to my hotel... Police opened fire on some Kurdish protestors and sadly people died. It was pandemonium.
But, after the shock of that, the rest of my time in your city was wonderful.
I spent most of my time in Turkey down in and near Izmir and that area though.
Everywhere I went in Turkey was a truly wonderful experience.
There was one other very intense and scary incident that happened to me & some friends in Ismir though.
Maybe I will make a story song from this experience as it was also quite funny too.
Anyway, I am extremely grateful that you took the time to honour my music in this way. Teşekkürler...
Teşekkür ederim...
Thank you bruthaman!

Ben teşekkür ederim :) Hope someday I'll visit Australia and tell you about my memoirs and maybe make a song about it with you? Why not :)
