INCE, K.: Curve / Hammers and Whistlers / Istathenople / Strange Stone (Present Music Ensemble, Stalheim)

The audacious music of Kamran Ince embraces folk and classical traditions of Turkey, European modernism, Minimalism and many forms of pop, rock and jazz. The music reflects the man’s varied background: the Turkish-American composer grew up partly in both countries, soaking up traditional music and pop. In his music, many styles collide and overlap. The most delicate beauty collides with the rowdiest sounds this side of heavy metal; startling contrast is a hallmark of Ince’s style. It is impossible to listen to Ince’s music casually. It commands attention. It shakes you.
