OttoMani (eight hands in Italian) is a new musical project that blends western contemporary music and Jazz with elements from traditional music from around the Mediterranean sea. The compositions are all written by Tolga During, a Dutch-Turkish guitarist who?s currently living in Italy. Although the music is meticulously arranged, there?s also much space for improvisation and interplay. Acoustic music with links to Jazz, contemporary and middle eastern music. The pieces are ambitious, well-worked compositions, that let the music breathe and invite us to a dreamlike travel. Tolga has a very natural, clear sound, and plays inspired improvisations that are disciplined and deeply musical. Tolga is a musician who combines a unique and arresting style with a masterful technique. His music is striking yet remains pure and uncluttered.
