I have just started a new podcast series: Blackbox. The idea behind this podcast project is that I would like to share with you some of the experiences and questions that arise from my everyday work as a musician.
The Blackbox #001 features a conversation with the Turkish composer Tolga Yayalar on his solo piano piece “in the temporal gardens” which he dedicated to me. In this episode we talk about Tolga’s intention in composing this piece and what the particular challenges in writing for piano are. In addition, I also play specific musical examples that highlight certain aspects we discuss.
The world premiere of “in the temporal gardens” will take place at the next HGNM concert on April 25 at Harvard University.
Tolga and I would be more than happy to hear any comments, or answer all of your questions. Just post them as a comment on my website or email me at seda@sedaroeder.com.
I hope to see you at the concert!
