Mert Pekduraner is a guitarist and composer based in both Amsterdam and Istanbul. From a young age, he started thinking about music not only through the guitar but with everything he would need to tell its story.
In 2020, Pekduraner, who introduced the first sounds of future music with his composition “Kly (Side by Side Venice Biennale Main Theme)” for the 17th Venice Biennale, created a unique audience for himself.
Pekduraner presented his compositional style with the six tracks on his debut studio album, Geriye Ne Kaldi?, which was released in 2021. His second album,
“DIALOGUES IN THE DARK”, released in 2022, took a deeper dive into his compositional approach, with its detailed instrumentation and musical style. This album takes listeners on a more in-depth journey into the development of his compositional artistry.
