Park Theater: Kadir Yucel

Kadir Yucel is a progressive electronic and rock musician who fills the room with cinematic sounds. Born in Istanbul, Turkey Kadir moved to New York in 1998. He’s spent his formative years in New York City and Woodstock NY, taking his musical inspiration from whatever is in the moment, around him, and within him. His music is heavily influenced by his beginnings with percussion instruments and drums, steeped in the complex rhythms of his childhood surroundings in Istanbul.

Kadir takes this rhythmic drive and translates it into exotic synthesizer and guitar riffs, blended together in an otherworldly dream music that’s part angry, part sad, and part hopeful.
