Turquazz Festival: Tritonet - Tolga Zafer Özdemir (Workshop)

While Roman philosopher Martianus Capella was designing seven liberal arts in 5th century, he was inheriting an old knowledge of marrying Music with Geometry, Mathematics and Astronomy. This old knowledge finds its origin all the way back to 3000 years (even to Capella) old practice of Ancient Levantine civilisations.

In the beginning of the 20th century, excavations in Mesopotamia has revealed cuneiform tablets with intricate number patterns. These patterns are not only symmetric in Geometry,Mathematics and possibly Astronomy, but also it forms Circle of Fifths, the musical wheel, a device for calculating harmony.

Following on the idea of marrying music with geometry, mathematics and astronomy which has origins over 3000 years, Tolga Zafer Özdemir will show use a wheel to create musical harmonies - the circle of fifths. He will demonstrate how to use it by performing with Tritonet, his derivative interpretation of Circle of Fifth.

The "Tritonet" talk by Tolga Zafer Özdemir is part of Turquazz Anatolian Jazz and Roots Festival, happening between 13-30 March 2019 in London.
