Aydin Esen

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Aydin Esen (b. 1962) keyboards/electronics - contemporary composer Esen began studying piano with his father at age 2 and entered the Conservatory of Istanbul at 5, studying piano and composition there through age 17. In the 1980s, he studied piano, composition, and conducting at the Norwegian State Academy of Music in Oslo, Norway. Upon his accelerated graduation from the Berklee College of Music in Boston, Esen received the prestigious Artist's Diploma and moved on to the New England Conservatory of Music where he received his Master's degree (with honors) in advanced piano and composition.

Certainly a virtuoso, Aydin Esen's prodigious talent has not, however, been matched by generous recorded output. The handful of records we do have are certainly phenomenal, displaying an epic command of composition, arranging, and performance technique, solidly in the forefront of modern keyboards and writing.

Aydin's most recent work, much of it in the contemporary classical domain, will be featured on a new label devoted to music of our time: extinction.
