The music of Senem Diyici

Music for me is first of all research, as for an archaeologist; we don’t know what we’re going to find, it’s like a meeting, every time … We search in the dark and when we find something, it brings us to light … It’s a path. In my music, I seek and I am very small in my

universe… In addition, I always wonder who I am, where does it come from that I sing as I sing, from the 14th century or today? Probably both at the same time! What I have found is that we are “hiç”, nothing, and yet a lot of things. We are light and we are a seed. When you throw it on the ground, it grows, and when you grow a good seed, it gives a good flower. Music for me is that too, it’s my garden, a garden where I let everything grow but which is well cared for and which becomes a beautiful landscape where I feel good. Yes, my music is my landscape.
