Duets (and occasional trios) with Amanda Turk at various movement events in Massachusetts and Vermont.
More about Amanda Turk: Amanda holds the generational beat of the drum in her blood. Both her father and her paternal grandfather were drummers. She grew up in the epicenter of the music world with her family business, Colony Records of NYC. In 2006 she discovered the darbuka, a type of tabla, and passionately began her study of Middle Eastern percussion under the guidance of contemporary percussion masters Raquy Danziger (Brooklyn/Istanbul), Bunyamin Olguncan (Istanbul), and Todd Roach (Brattleboro, VT). She makes regular pilgrimages to Turkey to delve deeper into a style called the Turkish Split Hand Technique and applies these techniques to a variety of drums including handpan, frame drum, riq, and cajon. When her hands are not on a drum, Amanda nurtures her community with her passion for bodywork in a 20 year massage therapy practice in Northampton, MA.
