Composer and producer Efe Demiral is a guitarist who has studied with names like Erkan Oğur, Ayşe Tütüncü, and Murat Opus on the fretless guitar and harmony. He released his first album “Inside Out” blending electro-acoustic elements with guitar music in 2016. While Demiral has collaborated with many musicians from the local scene on the stage and in the studio, he is mainly known for working with Eren Turgut on bass and Mert Can Bilgin on drums, as in the trio’s first album “Uyku Pansiyon” from 2019. The trio’s second album “Kolaj” was released by Shalgam Records in 2021. Like its title (“Collage” in English), it cannot be defined by a single theme. The album spans an axis from rock to jazz and is woven through with both minimalist and intricate touches. The album is full of color and enjoyable rhythmic dialogues. You can hear the trio perform songs from it on October 5 at Bova as part of the 32nd Akbank Jazz Festival. New media artist /da’s visual performance will accompany the trio on the stage.
