bassclarinet

Born in Kayseri (Turkey), 1970. After a childhood passed being seriously involved with painting and poetry, Büyükberber started practising music by himself. The excitement of the ability to express the moment with the time aspect of music performance is the strongest force to make him become a musician. “Still life to abstract - contemporary to ethnic - compositional to free.”

Being a young Turkish musician who has three “Best Instrumentalist” awards and over 20 Cd appearences including two solo albums, he has been participating traditional and international projects both at the production and performance parts, such as a composer, arranger, performer or as a supervizor on one hand, and creating his own music on the other.

"Trying to be an instrument for music to sound" is the idea that motivates him to experiment enlarging his musical spectrum. He has performed at many major festivals around Europe incuding Festival Spazio musica Cagliari Italy, Music Meeting Nijmeghen, Northsea Jazz Festival, Akbank International Jazz Festival, International Istanbul Jazz Festival, Parliement Superband Jazz Festival. In Medias Res and Dimitra Festival in coloboration with Butch Morris, Craig Harris, Arnold Dooyeveerd, Nikkiphoros Metaxas and many others.
