Let's Talk Off The Podium

The mission of this podcast is to create discussion on a variety of topics in music, culture, and arts. In my discussions there will be many questions, answers, comments, critique and ideas. For far too long many in the media, musicians, and artists from all backgrounds have been hesitant in their approach to criticism. As Wole Soyinka said, “The greatest threat to freedom is the absence of criticism.” Alongside my observations I will invite guests from a variety of artistic backgrounds to tell their story, ideas and perspective on all things in the world of music.

Hope you join me on this journey and raise awareness to topics that have been buried for decades.

Past guests include: Kronos Quartet founder David Harrington, Christian McBride, George Walker, Robert Dick, Ian Pace, Martin Bresnick, Project Trio bassist Peter Seymour, Andrey Kasparov, Craig Sheppard,  Adrienne Albert, Juan Maria Solare, Marc Yeats, Mark Rowan-Hull, Stanford Thompson, The Villiers Quartet, Dr. Haig Mardirosian, Frances Wilson, James Gardner, Daniel Rosenboom, Sylvia Hinz, Joan Arnau Pàmies,  among others.

Ep. 119: Yiğit Kolat, composer. Winner of the Takemitsu Composition Award (1st prize).

Let's Talk Off The Podium with Tigran Arakelyan.

In this podcast Kolat talks about his education in Turkey, folk music, his compositional process, success in music competitions and much more!

Yiğit Kolat is a musician, a soundmaker, and researcher. He studied the craft with some excellent musicians and soundmakers and has had the chance to share it with some excellent musicians and soundmakers. In the process, he gained some tokens and enjoyed the sense of prestige provided by them for a while. Funny how primates work. If you are interested in seeing a list of those tokens, sorry to disappoint you, but you are in the wrong place. If you are interested in collaboration, do not hesitate to reach out.
