Backstage Intro: Meet Erkan

[Richard]

Hello Erkan (aka Erkan_Yılmaz), nice to meet you. Tell us a little about yourself.

I am a music listener and creator from Germany. My musical journey brought me to Spotify in 2014.

So, what kind of music are you into?

I like Asian and instrumental music... this is since about 2010. Before, I was listening more to RnB-kind of music in English language only.
 

Pick two musical instruments. Now imagine combining them. What have you got, how does it work, and what is it called?

Let's take the violin and piano. Mixing them will lead to a new playing style:
the piano should be played with other body parts than the hands (e.g. your feet), the violin can (but must not) still be played with the hand.
The name of this playing style will be called henceforth piedolin (pied in French means foot).
As you can imagine, piedolin players will be scarce, since it demands more skills.

Thanks for taking the time to chat with us. Before we go, what joke always makes you laugh?

Haven't experienced such a joke yet 😞
But, a certain mimic combination makes me smile each time, AND it has to be by a certain person also. The rest is secret...
