Whoever hears their voice too often, will forget how to learn.

Climbing when afraid of heights is the ultimate amplification for perception.

[Kaan Bulak @kaanbulak]

Art becomes a part of culture, only if they're allowed to, if the gates are open. Otherwise culture stagnates into tradition.

[Kaan Bulak @kaanbulak]

Inspiration cannot be chased but you can be well prepared, so you know what to do when it arrives.

This is the moment when I and Simon Höfele started working on our upcoming album, we were inspired a lot by the legendary coffee from Yemen. Thank you for sharing @THEBARNBERLIN

[THE BARN @THEBARNBERLIN]

We just confirmed new Yemen lots. Stay tuned! 🇾🇪☕️

Closed off a gothic church after rehearsal at night, the silence and darkness seemed to move there. What a vibe.

Congruency of the mind is what we mean by transcendence.

[Kaan Bulak @kaanbulak]

Doing should win over being. Who you are ceases to be important once you set sail and you're on the way. How you do things should define you more than where you come from.

Take any shape, stay with it, focus on it, distort it until it's your shape. Then let go and find a new one.

The sea is vast, waves come and go, there is movement and stillness everywhere, perfectly in balance.

[Kaan Bulak @kaanbulak]

Intervals are intervals. Harmony or dissonance only appear when they're perceived, depending on who's perceiving.

[Kaan Bulak @kaanbulak]

Tension and release - the fundamentals of composition. This works for anything in sequence, write down the sequence and then figure out the turning point. Draw a graph and keep that in mind while performing / speaking.

[Kaan Bulak @kaanbulak]

Timing is relative, much more than time.

[Kaan Bulak @kaanbulak]

Accepting chaos can be surprisingly liberating.

[Kaan Bulak @kaanbulak]

White noise consists of all frequencies, it is in a way the sum of all sounds you've heard and will hear - all at once.

[Kaan Bulak @kaanbulak]

Looking into the unknown and then jumping right in. That's the spirit of improvisation.

[Kaan Bulak @kaanbulak]

In music sometimes time stands still, the beginning still sounds in the end. It feels like time becomes a room to walk around in. This totally depends if you allow it to happen, by showing up as a blank canvas. Intellectual thoughts might hinder this, silence is paramount.
