I am Gilad, it means sonsuz mutlu in hebrew \ud83d\ude42 and also the name of a mountain area in ancient israel and modern day jordan. I was born and raised in israel and i started playing guitar at age 9-10 after my mom caught me &#8220;air guitaring&#8221; to Slash during the November Rain solo \ud83d\ude09\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Most of my childhood I played normal Rock stuff as well as some blues and (american) folk but I always had a passion for more &#8216;psychedelic&#8217; stuff (as in early Pink Floyd sense, not modern electronic sense)&#8230; believe it or not I believe that that&#8217;s the root from which my interest with Turkish music grew (because it&#8217;s a modal form of music).\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 As a young man I played with many Israeli groups in the Tel Aviv scene and I had an active high school band that lasted for a long while after high school.. it was Israeli Rock style and we made an album back in 2003 while we were all serving in the army (it&#8217;s mandatory in israel&#8230; and no option for &#8220;Money Soldier&#8221; ?). At around that time, while i was a soldier, I felt like I&#8217;m stuck with my skill level and I decided to get back to learning the guitar. This time I found a teacher who was heavily inclined to using music theory and knowledge of the instrument, his catch phrase was &#8220;I teach theory and how to operate a guitar, I don&#8217;t care if you play Eskimo music with it&#8221;&#8230; I liked that approach since every other highly regarded teacher was teaching Jazz, which was far from my interest at that time.. all that time i was still very active with the Tel Aviv independent rock scene.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Engin:<\/strong> When and how did you come across with Turkish music?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Gilad: <\/strong>\u00a0It&#8217;s actually a nice story&#8230; It&#8217;s a crossover of several things that happened&#8230; one guy that I was playing with alot was really into other types of world music and he always told me things like &#8220;you have to take your head out of America&#8217;s as**&#8221;&#8230; as well as mentioning Turkish music from time to time.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Another one is my teacher who once or twice during our time together mentioned Turkish music.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The third element was a night that me and some friends were sitting in a sohbet like evening when suddenly another guy, from my native town, but older than me and I knew him mostly by reputation, joined us. I knew him as a great guitar player but finally when we meet in a situation that we can play, instead of a guitar he pulls out an Oud and declares that he quit guitar and from now on he plays only Turkish music. That was very strange for me, all I knew about Turkey at that time was Hasan \u015ea\u015f, Hakan \u015e\u00fck\u00fcr, \u0130lhan Mans\u0131z and Volkan the goalkeeper ? but that guy was half Turkish so I thought it was maybe an &#8220;origin discovery&#8221; thing&#8230; His name is David btw&#8230; I tried his oud that night and he gave me an angry look when i tried some country-blues stuff on it ?\u00a0\u00a0 The last crucial element was actually related to the music theory- the main thing I was learning at that time were the musical modes which I really liked and invested time in, but they had some strange names- Yoni (Ionian)&#8230; Dori (Dorian) vs vs&#8230; and so one day I decided to use the force of the &#8216;not yet so obvious to go to source of the&#8217; internet to search for these names&#8230; turned out they were all names of ancient tribes from Anatolia&#8230; that was like the moment I realized that all of those coincidences are connected. That was in 2010, I remember because that was a world cup time and me and some friends made a gamble game in the results&#8230; I took some weird bets, for example- that Italy wouldn&#8217;t pass the group stages, that Uruguay will get to the semi finals&#8230; all my friends laughed at me but I won it because of those strange ideas and the day I got the money David called me and said he is buying a new Oud and that maybe I want to buy his old one&#8230; and so I did and that&#8217;s how it realy started&#8230; at that moment in time I still didn&#8217;t know about Erkan O\u011fur and what&#8217;s classical turkish music whats turk sanat Whats arabesque&#8230; and most importantly- what&#8217;s T\u00fcrk\u00fc.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Engin:<\/strong> What mostly attracted you to this music?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Gilad:<\/strong>\u00a0 The thing that mostly attracts me to this music is that said modal element of it, I used to hear music in my head when I was younger but I couldn&#8217;t ever formulate it to either a verbal explanation nor a composition or playing style&#8230; when I opened up to turkish music (especially after discovering Erkan) things started to move towards that point, I guess technically it&#8217;s the articulations and nuances as well as the improvisatory nature of a large part of this music.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Engin:<\/strong> Was it hard or weird for you at that time to listen makam music with all microtone stuff for you?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Gilad: <\/strong>\u00a0Actually, maybe people in Turkey don&#8217;t know this but Makam music is very common in Israel, it&#8217;s not alien to us at all, but of course I grew up more affected by the western cultures side (rock, blues, schwartzenneger movies vs vs), i think this is common for young Turks as well&#8230; but the interesting part is that if you consider the microtonality than in Turkish music it is actually more subtle than in arabic and arabic-jewish style, a factor that I really prefer, so in some way the Turkish music intonation was nicer to my ears than what I sometimes heard here&#8230; of course it&#8217;s a generalization but I think it has a big impact on the overall experience of listening to and playing these types of musics. Btw, in the 80&#8217;s and 90&#8217;s Turkish arabesk was really influential in Israeli, affecting music, films and even dressing style.. and it&#8217;s now popular again, we have a new Turkish films channel and I watched &#8220;Mart\u0131lar\u0131n Efendisi&#8221; a few days ago&#8230; very very nice film ?.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Engin:<\/strong> What about Turkish classical music? Do you play or just listen? Or not interested much?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Gilad: <\/strong>\u00a0I started out studying the Oud and learning some classical turkish music, but actually the moment I heard T\u00fcrk\u00fc (even before Erkan) I began finding myself drawn to it, it has a different character of course, but there is something about the supposed monotony of it that gave me that same feeling of a journey, it&#8217;s also a great vehicle for the elements of music that means most to me- articulation, nuance and emotion&#8230; the repetition is actually an illusion because each small variation gives a nee life during the song, that&#8217;s what differentiates a high level musician to an amateur musician to my taste. People like Erkan really capitalize (knowingly or unknowingly) on this energy as far as I&#8217;m concerned.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Engin:<\/strong> You used to play oud wright? How did you jump to fretless guitar? I bet it is easier for a guitar player, isn\u2019t it?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Gilad: <\/strong>6. One day when I was watching YouTube for some oud players, the then open and young YouTube algorithm suggested a video with a guy with white hair and b\u0131y\u0131k&#8230; it looked interesting so I pressed it&#8230; it was &#8220;bir sevda \u015fark\u0131s\u0131&#8221;&#8230; the old version, which is the best in my opinion&#8230; from the very first notes I knew a major thing happened&#8230; I could &#8216;smell&#8217; the music!!! When I say I can &#8216;smell&#8217; a music that&#8217;s the highest compliment one could get from me (Pink Floyd&#8217;s &#8216;a Pillow Of Winds&#8217; is another example)&#8230; than that clip, which was a &#8216;changing photos&#8217; kind started showing photos of this strange (in a good way) guy and my head exploded ? he had fretless guitars!! I immediately removed the frets from a cheap Romanian guitar that i had&#8230; really that same moment&#8230; to be completely honest it wasn&#8217;t the first time i saw a classical fretless guitar, but the one i saw before it was so so bad (high action&#8230; bad sound) that I didn&#8217;t think that it&#8217;s a serious thing&#8230; Erkan&#8217;s video proved me wrong and it was the start of my journey&#8230; it was also the last time i played the oud&#8230;\u00a0\u00a0 In some way it&#8217;s easier to approach a fretless guitar when you are already in high command of a normal guitar, but I wouldn&#8217;t say it&#8217;s easier than oud, the oud has a long tradition and many masters to learn from, it has an outward percussive playing style that is easy to be dominant with, the fretless guitar it still a young instrument, with many things to improve, but that was also what attracted me to it, I actually learnt sound production just due to the hardships of amplifying and recording the fretless guitar.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Engin:<\/strong> I know you are highly influenced by Erkan O\u011fur. Why is that? What makes Erkan different for you personally and for music in general? I know you attended his seminar in Crete at Labyrinth Music School.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Gilad:<\/strong>\u00a0Yes, of course Erkan, as I already mentioned, is a huge influence on me. As i said he was the catalyst for me to pick up the Fretless Guitar and his general approach to music is really inspiring for me. It&#8217;s thru studying him that i git rid of a lot of (psychological) baggage that hindered my development and enjoyment of music. I saw a guy who is doing his own thing without care wether they are &#8216;right&#8217; or &#8216;acceptable&#8217; or whatever, but as he did it he took it to the highest levels of manifestation&#8230; it&#8217;s thru him that i finally fell in love with Jazz, which was a genre that I used to despise as a teen&#8230; and his nuances and articulations were the greatest joy for me to observe and absorb. Btw&#8230; most people care about Erkan&#8217;s fretless playing but actually for me I was always mystified and mesmerized by his harmonies, his arrangements are out of this world, just listen again to songs like b\u00fclb\u00fcl\u00fcm and dersim d\u00f6rt da\u011f i\u00e7inde but pay careful attention to the harmonic textures there.. and then listen to Haydar and bu ne ya!?!?\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I girit seminars i used to ask him about the harmony all the time but he said he doesn&#8217;t remember ? I think he thought I wanted like a specific arrangement, but actually I wanted to learn his approach&#8230; also he said I&#8217;m the only one who asks him about harmony ?<\/p>\n<p>Bu arada, \u00e7o\u011fu insan Erkan&#8217;\u0131n perdesiz \u00e7almas\u0131n\u0131 \u00f6nemsiyor ama asl\u0131nda ben her zaman onun armonileriyle hipnotize olup b\u00fcy\u00fclendim.

What other musics you listen?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Gilad:<\/strong>\u00a0In the Turkish realm I am also a big fan of Okan Murat \u00d6zt\u00fcrk who I also got to know personally and I can safely call him a friend ? Okan, apart from being a remarkable player and singer, is also very heavily into the harmony side of it and I even found some papers he wrote about quartal harmony. His productions are also terrific and unlike Erkan he remembers everything ? i was lucky enough to have him as a guest for a concert we made in Izmir and he came to Israel 2 times for workshops and concerts.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Erdal Erzincan is a big influence and I love \u015eeymus Fidan&#8217;s style, he accompanied Erdal with guitar for many years. I particularly like Erkan \u00c7anak\u00e7\u0131 he is a great example of someone who is exceptional in his nuances and articulations and i always loved soft playing style. Many of the t\u00fcrk\u00fc world- modern players such as adem Tosuno\u011flu, sinan ayy\u0131ld\u0131z whom are personal friends, Alevi styles- Tuncay Balc\u0131, sabahat akkiraz, ersin per\u00e7in, cengiz \u00f6zkan, erol parlak, my dear friend sercan ba\u015f and Engin topuzkanam\u0131\u015f&#8230; the list is very long of course. Cenk Erdo\u011fan is also a big influence and he is a great guy who helped me quite alot along the way. Also i like ismail tun\u00e7bilek from taksim trio and muhlis berbero\u011flu is great. A\u015f\u0131k veysel tabiki and perhaps above all i think its Ramazan G\u00fcng\u00f6r, it took me some time to understand his genius, but when it clicked, when my mind was ready to absorb it, it quickly climbed up in the ladder of appreciation.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 These days I also listen to a lot of early western music, middle ages- early polyphony and mostly baroque&#8230; I actually bought a Baroque Lute 3 years ago and I&#8217;m practicing it every day, i really enjoy it and it completely changed my playing style. If anyone is interested in trying out some baroque lute music i highly recommend- &#8220;french baroque lute music&#8221; by Michal Schaffer (just type that in YouTube) and anything recorded by Robart Barto, especially Weiss volume 1 and 5.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Engin:<\/strong> I know you visited Turkey many times and one of the first visits was to my workshop ? It was also very interesting and exciting story on my side. Because our friendship started with this visit (actually before that via social media) and still going on. Can you tell us about your visits, feelings about Turkey, culture, food\u2026 other stuff than music ?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Gilad: <\/strong>Yes, the first time i came to Turkey was in 2013 to pick up the kopuz and O\u011fur Saz\u0131 you built for me, as well as Ekrem&#8217;s guitar. At that time I already knew a hit more than Hasan \u015ea\u015f, Hakan \u015e\u00fck\u00fcr, \u0130lhan Mans\u0131z and volkan the goalkeeper ? i also knew &#8220;so\u011fans\u0131z&#8221; and &#8220;indir&#8221; ?. Since then I came many more times and probably would be there now if it weren&#8217;t for corona&#8230; I really like Turkey, I was fortunate enough to meet some amazing people who are now dear friends of mine, really like brothers, and I got to see many amazing places, and hopefully to see more&#8230; Izmir is a city in which i spent a lot of time and always really liked it, and also I really like Istanbul, yes I know it&#8217;s kalabal\u0131k, and honestly I don&#8217;t like kalabal\u0131k places, but in Istanbul I&#8217;m not bothered with it&#8230; it&#8217;s like the city itself is enough, perhaps it&#8217;s the Bosphorous&#8230; perhaps its the history and the architecture&#8230; maybe the mix of culture&#8230;. the mix of people&#8230; it&#8217;s just something about the mix that&#8217;s is exactly right for, it&#8217;s like in music production- the most important part is the mix&#8230; it can literally change the entire sound of the recording. The food is great but Im half Lybian&#8230; nothing beats our food, sorry ? but I do love the Turkish food, midye is great, kebaps&#8230; and of course my favorite- Tantuni ?&#8230; also Turkish breakfast is the best.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Engin:<\/strong> So, let\u2019s come to kopuz and ogur saz\u0131. This is again a part of my story too. I remember I was very anxious and excited at same time. You were already playing baglama at the moment, right?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Gilad: <\/strong>10. Yes, but it was a very early stage that i was playing ba\u011flama, watching Erkan videos and listening to his albums made me very curious about Kopuz and that&#8217;s how I found you on Facebook, at those days it was a much more naive and relaxed environment, not the crazy political waste dump that it is today, and making these sort of connections was a really new and exciting thing. Luckily it was the right time for me to translate that connection into a physical one and thus we could get to meet in real life. It&#8217;s still something that I&#8217;m really happy about, and honestly im really i really miss everyone&#8230; I can&#8217;t wait to come again.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Engin:<\/strong> What other instruments do you play? Do have like a \u201cmain\u201d instrument you play and like the most?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Gilad:<\/strong>\u00a0Good question ?? I have many instruments&#8230; maybe too much ? I can&#8217;t say which is my main one&#8230; it changes&#8230; these days i mostly play the Baroque Lute and, strangely enough, my Stratocaster ? there were times when I played almost only the fretless guitar&#8230; I always ask myself- which one would I choose if i were forced to choose just one&#8230;. i still couldn&#8217;t answer it&#8230; but there&#8217;s a big chance it will be the Ramazan Cura ? I really enjoy taking my dog for a walk wand playing it while walking.\u00a0\u00a0 I have several electric guitars- 2 six strings, double neck and 8 string&#8230; I have all sorts of kinds of kopuz- O\u011fur Saz\u0131 and a 13 string kopuz, and the pes kopuz that i really like. i have a very nice uzun sap that i bought in Nat\u00fcrel M\u00fczik in \u0130stanbul, and a nice k\u0131sa sap that erkan \u00e7anak\u00e7\u0131 helped me buy is on it&#8217;s way to me&#8230; I have 2 bass ukuleles&#8230; and a classical guitar&#8230;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Engin:<\/strong> OK I have to ask also the \u201c13 String Lute-Kopuz\u201d ? How that idea came to you? And do think it is worth the effort, is it a usable nice instrument?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Gilad:<\/strong>\u00a0The 13- string kopuz lute was an attempt to marry the baroque lute style with a kopuz, you can check the arrangement i made for &#8216;Bir \u0130ncecik Duman T\u00fcter&#8217; that i played with it. I play the 6 string more than i do this one, but mainly because i need to change strings and I&#8217;m too lazy ?.. it is a functional instrument, although it needs to be amplified, or played in a small room for a small audience. As is the baroque lute- its a solo instrument, meant to be played alone, i cant see it being played with a group&#8230; maybe a small thing- singer and a soft drum&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Engin:<\/strong> Tell us about your work. Do you give concerts, teach? And your albums? You know I\u2019m waiting your album with our dear friend Melisa.

Come on, when will we hear it!?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Gilad:<\/strong>\u00a0Well, the album will be out, probably in Jan 1. 2021 in all digital platforms and shops, and indeed it&#8217;s a very nice album ? i enjoy listening to it myself ? working on it with Melisa was really a great time and the result is much better than I imagined it to be. Btw I also have a solo album out- &#8220;Improvisations On Fretless Guitar&#8221; which consists of, obviously, improvisations on fretless guitar&#8230; just one guitar, from beginning to end, without anything else&#8230; I really like that album because it&#8217;s something that I always wished Erkan would do&#8230; but instead I did it myself, so it&#8217;s kind of nice&#8230; and because it was 100% improvised, when I listen to it it feels like another person performed it, which is a cool feeling.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 These days I rarely give concerts because of corona&#8230; but I do teach music.. and have been teaching for many years. I recently started teaching in a school in northern Israel.

You knew each other before that right?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Gilad:<\/strong>\u00a0Yinon was always a big inspiration for me, both musically as well as personally in the sense that by his own example I saw that the dream of going to Turkey and involving myself with people and musicians there is not a long shot dream.

How do you compose, what fires you up?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Gilad: <\/strong>\u00a0Well i don&#8217;t consider myself too much as a composer because my main thing is improvisation, which i take quite seriously, I actually use compositional techniques (such as Cells, Rows, counterpoint and so on) within my improvisations and practices of improvisations.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0Seldom I do actually compose music and it can be in several ways- either i repeat an idea until it is stuck in my head and I develop it, or I really sit with a piece of paper and write music on it&#8230; sometimes I use a computer for writing it, which is a nice thing to do. I found myself composing quite a lot for the Baroque Lute, but it&#8217;s just what the instruments make me do&#8230; When I pick up a kopuz or a fretless guitar its like they want me to improvise, and the lute wants things to be repeated&#8230; although I do do the opposite as well (compose on kopuz\/fretless guitar, improvise on lute).\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Right now my biggest problem is fingernails- fretless guitar needs them, lute wants without&#8230; thats a real conundrum.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Engin:<\/strong> Any upcoming projects?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Gilad: <\/strong>Our album <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/album\/13WdISgeOsVQGUzC0SkyCL\">&#8220;Talu\u015f&#8221;<\/a> will be released soon, i will hopefully be joining a big Israeli musician on a project soon, where I will play Fretless Guitar, let&#8217;s see what happens with that&#8230; and I hope to solve the fingernails issue.. there aren&#8217;t any concerts and such right now, I was always one to not make so much concerts and now the corona situation made it even worse.. we will see, usually projects finds me (Including my own) so i am waiting patiently.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Engin:<\/strong> Thank you for this openhearted conversation and hope to see you soon here again.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Gilad: <\/strong>\u00a0I thank you and whoever reads this.
