My Take

Kamran Ince fascinates me precisely because of how unlikely his origin story sounds. A Turkish-American composer born in Glendive, Montana, equally at home as pianist, cellist and professor, he has gathered the Rome Prize, a Guggenheim Fellowship and more. I am always pulled toward artists who carry two cultures inside them, because that tension usually produces music you cannot get anywhere else. The big-sky emptiness of Montana and the modal color of Turkish tradition living in one mind is a combination I want to hear worked out in sound. He feels like a composer worth sitting down with properly rather than sampling, and I intend to.

Kamran N. Ince (spelled İnce in Turkish, born May 6, 1960) is a Turkish-American composer. He is the winner of many prestigious awards, including a Rome Prize, a Guggenheim Fellowship, the Lili Boulanger Memorial Prize, and various others.
