Avni Erbey, Born in 1967, Izmir, Turkey. Started music at age 9. Plays piano, guitars and bass (upright bass). Influced by John Coltrane, Charles Mingus, Chick Corea, Keith Jarret, John McLaughlin, Ravi Shankar and writer Jack Kerouac.

The idea of my music is : The very first communication of human being is painting shortly after music long before languages and writing. So I create my music like painting. Even more abstract painting far beyond regular shapes which means regular scales in music. But not at all of my songs. The reason why the abstract tech I use while composing, playing is maybe you know abstract painters Pollock, Rothko, Kooning or Kline. Kline uses generally one color in his paintings.

However painting tells a story or an idea. Pollock is also free tech but uses more colors in his paintings. Again he tells a story or an idea. The only limit for abstract painting is the physical world, colors and canvas. So I follow the same perspective. I let myself free while composing and playing. Each song tells you a story. However sometimes I discuss an idea or problems of nowadays human life.
