I am a jazz & classical pianist and composer.

Studied at the Vienna Conservatory and Vienna Music Academy, my music bridges Asia Minor and Balkans to the West. The power and melancholy of Turkish and Balkan folk music, the spirituality of Sufi music, the tradition of European classical music, along with American Jazz and musicals are the fundamentals of my sound.

Besides leading my own group Tuluğ Tırpan Trio, I have performed with many renowned artists, including Trilok Gurtu, Antonio Sanchez, Kai Eckhardt, Benny Greb, Juan Garcia Herreros, Al di Meola, Dave Weckl, Fernando Paiva, Nicolas Simion
