ENG: A few weeks ago, I performed at my uncle Beygu Gokcin's art exhibition at the Austrian Cultural Forum in Istanbul.
(Beygu is a self-taught painter, and also plays the harmonica without a background in music education.)
At the end of my recital, we took a risk and decided to do a surprise encore. With neither a rehearsal nor a plan, but only instincts and spontaneous decisions to guide us (plus some subconscious Piazzolla and Ravel influences on my part), we improvised for the first time ever.
After the performance, I named the improvisation 'Crying Out Soft'. I would like to dedicate it to:
Those who cannot express their opinions freely... and
Those who aren't allowed to 'cry out loud'...
TR: Birkac hafta once Istanbul'daki inanilmaz bir palas olan Avusturya Kultur Ofisi'nde amcamin sergi acilisinda calmistim. Kendisi muzik egitimi olmadan mizika calar. Hayatimizda ilk defa orada 'haydi birlikte de birsey calalim' diye sahneye ciktik. Sonunda biraz Ravel, biraz Piazzolla etkisi olan, ve ayni zamanda da aci dolu bir dogaclama olustu...
Adini 'Crying Out Soft' koydum; ve bu parcayi ulkemizde ve dunyada sadece sessizce aglayabilen insanlara ithaf ediyorum.

Beautiful and free. Love when moments like this are captured for others to see :)

Lovely, glad I found this. It's hard to hear the harmonica because the sound output is lower, but that is one of the small things that makes this improv so significant and interesting.
