Hi. Just wanted to ask if anyone here could indicate me some players or composers of music in piano that explore eastern themes, a bit like the pieces by De Hartmann and Gurdjieff, in that line of "sound".
I think it makes a real wonderful combination eastern themes played on piano.


Thanks in advance for the replies.
 
Hi Green_Manalishi,

I think Fazil Say's "Black Earth" can be a good example for eastern Anatolian themes. The song was written for Ashik Veysel's "My faithful love is Black Earth", in original form here(His voice and style may be unpleasant for those who isn't familiar with his songs):

And here is Fazil Say on piano:

He uses a technique(touching strings inside the piano) that produce a sound as if it comes from lute. I don't think anybody does that, but I am not an expert of course.

I am not sure if this is what you asked, I hope it helps.
