In my process of learning the duduk, I have experienced different techniques and styles. I finally have found my musical identity as a duduk player after a long and difficult journey; however, I have benefited from different styles and cultures, and, inspired from different stories. This journey gave me new and different perspectives, knowledge, experience and story. You are welcome to write your own story.
Special thanks to Derya Ulkat and Deniz Ulkat.
Thanks a lot to Baris Ayhan and Lea Laubacher for French subtitles.
ABOUT ME
I am a professional duduk player and educator.
I studied in Istanbul Technical University Turkish Music State Conservatory. I studied the duduk with Suren Asaduryan and Özcan Gül. I joined in Erkan Oğur’s and Derya Türkans workshops, who are two prominent representatives of Anatolian music.
It is possible to hear both Turkish and Armenian and also Ottoman Classical Music modes and patterns in my playing style. I have contributed to many albums and music productions with my duduk throughout my career. I composed music for quartet (duduk, piano, double bass, drums) and founded the band “Canberk Ulaş Quartet” in 2015 and I released my album titled “Telafi" with this band in 2017.
I continue working on my music projects, giving concerts in different parts of the world and giving duduk online lessons to duduk lovers from all over the world.
