Canberk Ulaş is a Turkish – duduk player and composer based in Sweden. In addition to mastering traditional Armenian techniques, Ulaş sensitively expands the expressive range of the duduk through extended techniques and electronic elements. His artistic approach emphasizes spaciousness, slows the flow of time, and brings the ancient melodies of the duduk into the present with a meditative, ambient sound.
He studied the duduk under masters Suren Asaduryan and Özcan Gül in Istanbul. During his master’s studies at the University of Agder in Norway and the University of Gothenburg in Sweden, he honed his skills in solo performance, improvisation, and interplay under the mentorship of prominent Scandinavian musicians such as Arve Henriksen, Jan Bang, Bugge Wesseltoft, and Anders Jormin.
In his latest album, released in 2024, Ulaş collaborated with prominent Norwegian musicians including Arve Henriksen, Eivind Aarset, Bugge Wesseltoft, and Jan Bang, receiving positive acclaim from leading European music magazines. Throughout his career, he has worked with a wide range of artists across Scandinavia and beyond, such as Hub Hildenbrand (DE), Tord Gustavsen (NO), Ensemble Ylajali (NO), Cenk Erdoğan (TR), Carl Johan’s Chamber Choir (SE), Erik Dahl (SE), Donovan von Martens (SE), Sara Grabow (DK), Tomas Raae (DK), Jonas Colstrup (DK) and other distinguished musicians, contributing his duduk to numerous albums, concerts, and interdisciplinary productions. In addition to his performance career, he actively teaches the duduk online to students globally and leads various workshops.
