SPOKEN WORD & POETRY
A SPOKEN WORD & GUITAR EXPERIENCE
Ayse Balkos’ provocative voice comes to life with the moody guitar stylings of Ash Gray.
Ayse electrifies her words with an otherworldly attitude compounded with the unique flavor of her Turkish-British voice that has the ability to conjure a fresh emphasis and approach to the language.
Ash Gray accompanies on his guitar, intuitively improvising and reacting to the words creating a tour-de-force of collaboration and conversation between orator 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.
Each performer inspires and pushes the other differently each time so that no two performances are alike. This unpredictability creates a suspense that is engaging and explosive by carrying the audience through a variety feelings and moods, a complete inspired and improvised journey each night.
It's easy.

COME TO TOWER AUDIO BOOK
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.
A goodbye letter and a fresh new journey. 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.
