Roode Bioscoop X Amarte Sessions: Mert Pekduraner
Mert Pekduraner, a composer and guitarist, born and based in Amsterdam began his musical journey in Adana, Turkey. His time in Adana exposed him to the authentic and traditional sounds of Anatolia, which greatly influenced his composition ideas and arrangement techniques. This situation led to the integration of a fretless guitar alongside the standard guitar in his music, enriching his compositional approach with a broader perspective through the use of maqam sounds.
