Come To Tower, A Spoken Word Accompanied With Music
An hour and twenty minutes spoken word with music performance and audio book / album, Come To Tower is
A goodbye letter and a fresh new journey.
Ayse has a unique poetic style through her combined accents and bilingual thought process and your ears recognize the sound of something that’s remarkably different, and entirely inviting, daring, exciting, and artistic in all the right ways that stand out. Brilliantly performed in spoken-word, everything from the accent in the vocals to the slick & smooth sound of the music that comes along with it. It is interesting & enticing, and with its clever lyricism & inspiring.
Ayse Balkos's first poetry book, Come To Tower, is the poetry collection of a fresh voice of a renegade woman, angry, hopeful, strong, confused, clear and vulnerable. The poems are accompanied by Ash Gray’s beautiful tones of Hummingbird Gibson acoustic guitar, dazzlingly honest, unpretentious and real journey of a soul.
Her voice is elegant, unique and original. This is what a new poetry bursting from raw heart sounds like.
Ayse's untamed words and Ash’s melodies will take you on a journey of a different reality.
Musician, Ash Gray accompanies on his guitar, intuitively improvising and reacting to the spoken word. The show is an artistic conversation between orator-poet and musician. The constant ebb and flow makes each show an inspired spectacle that carries a diverse range of moods. The pieces take on the full spectrum , ranging all the way from dreamy landscapes to punkish, rogue battle cries.
