Accordeon maestro Mario Batkovic performed at Le Guess Who? 2017, as part of the program curated by James Holden.

About
It's kind of funny how one of Mario Batkovic's most well-known pieces is called Restrictus, as ‘restricting’ is quite the opposite of his enthralling mastery of the accordion. The Switzerland-based, Bosnia-born musician reaches a vast musical range with his instrument, rivalling the great minimalist composers of our modern age.

Mario Batkovic - Restrictus

Despite knowing the journey and where it leads, I embrace it and I welcome every moment of it

endamına vuruldum ilk.
laleydi gülhane'de, henüz açmamış.
iğde çiçeği misali sardı kokusu.
ferhat bilmez acep mecnun hangi alemde.
