rize by caner teker

these songs were recorded at kulturakademie tarabya, istanbul, inside a former hamam later transformed into a chapel, now home to an old pipe organ.

this collection brings together the tulum — a traditional bagpipe from rize, turkey, the organ, and the piano, tracing breath, pressure, and resonance across instruments.

the songs move between raw takes and layered textures: two bagpipe solos, a bagpipe fragment, a drone with an old pipe organ and a piano improvisation. they lean into fatigue, persistence, residue: gestures of care and refusal, played into and out of air.

these pieces are both a document and an offering.

all proceeds go to the solidarity rojava fund.
