Canberk Ulaş is a Turkish – Duduk player who slows down time with the haunting, soulful sound of the duduk, an ancient wind instrument. Ulaş is renowned for exploring new sonic lands. In addition to his mastery of traditional Armenian techniques, Ulaş sensitively expands the expressive range of the duduk through extended techniques and electronic elements. His artistic approach emphasizes spaciousness and brings the ancient melodies of the duduk into the present with meditative electronic soundscapes.

In his latest solo album “Echoes of Becoming” (Jazzland, 2024), Ulaş collaborated with prominent Norwegian musicians, including Arve Henriksen, Eivind Aarset, Bugge Wesseltoft, and Jan Bang. The album received high praise from leading European music publications. As he navigates the intricate balance between tradition and experimentation, we invite you to join Canberk Ulaş on a contemplative journey of introspection and connection.
What is the Duduk?
The duduk is an ancient double-reed woodwind instrument, thought to be 4,000 years old, originating from the Caucasus region, including Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, and parts of Türkiye. Over time, Armenia refined both the craftsmanship and playing techniques of the duduk, making it an integral part of the country's national identity. With its deeply soulful and expressive sound, the duduk has traditionally been played at funerals in Armenia, evoking a sense of mourning, grief and remembrance. In 2005, UNESCO recognized the Armenian duduk and its music as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

Canberk Ulaş is a Turkish – duduk player and composer, living in Sweden and exploring new sonic lands. Ulaş completed his bachelor’s degree at Istanbul Technical University’s Turkish Music State Conservatory in 2019 and later earned a master’s degree from the University of Agder in Norway. He studied the duduk under the masters Suren Asaduryan and Özcan Gül.

During his master’s program in World Music and Improvisation at the University of Agder and the University of Gothenburg, Ulaş had the privilege of working with prominent Scandinavian musicians, including Jan Bang, Bugge Wesseltoft, Anders Jormin, and Arve Henriksen. His unique style blends Turkish, Anatolian, Armenian, and Ottoman musical heritages with a contemporary perspective. Ulaş expands the boundaries of his instrument, exploring its melodic voice, harmonic depth, and rhythmic possibilities through the loops, extended techniques, and digital effects.

In his latest album, released in 2024, Ulaş collaborated with notable Norwegian musicians such as Arve Henriksen, Eivind Aarset, Bugge Wesseltoft, and Jan Bang, earning positive reviews from leading music magazines in Europe. Throughout his career, Ulaş has contributed to numerous albums and music productions worldwide with his duduk. In addition to his performance career, he actively teaches the duduk online to students globally and leads various workshops.
