Living between continents in my headphones—from the Aegean's island songs to the saxophone's midnight whispers, from Monk's angular brilliance to Zlatan's infectious rhythms. I collect sounds like others collect memories: traditional duduk drifts into free jazz, Greek taverna classics sit beside Afrobeats energy, and somewhere in there, a ska horn section reminds me that joy is always revolutionary. Culture isn't a box for me; it's a conversation across borders, a way of understanding how humans everywhere try to say the same thing through different instruments.
