Ka manaakihia e te 25 o ngā tau o te Hakari Jazz Akbank tētahi o ngā kaiwaiata tino nui e whakaata ana i te āhua ahurei o ngā toi Scandinavian, a Susanne Sundfør. Ka eke te kaitoi ki te atamira i te 31 o Oketopa ki Zorlu PSM hei wāhanga o tana haerenga "Ten Love Songs", i whakaritea hei tautoko i tana pukaemi tuaono, i tukuna i te marama o Pēpuere.
I rongonui a Sundfør i te taenga o tana waiata kotahi ki te tuatoru o ngā tūtohi i te tau 2006. I tukuna e ia tana pukaemi tuatahi i te tau i muri mai, ā, tae noa mai ki tēnei wā e ono ngā pukaemi kua tukuna e ia.
E whakaae ana te kaitoi ki te awe nui o ngā kaitoi me ngā roopu puoro pērā i a Bob Dylan, Freddy Mercury, Depeche Mode me Radiohead ki āna mahi toi. Ahakoa i hiahia ia kia matua te kaupapa o te tutu i roto i tana pukaemi hou, ko te aroha me ngā whanaungatanga te kaupapa o āna kupu.
I tana kōrero ki a Positif Live i mua i tana kōnohete i Istanbul, i mea a Sundfør he tini ngā kaiwaiata pūkenga i te ao o Nōwei, ā, ki tana whakaaro he tika kia tae mai he hunga mātakitaki o te ao ki a rātou.
I muri i ngā tau maha i muri mai, ka whakatau a Sundfør ki te whiriwhiri i te puoro hei mahi, whai muri i tana tukunga i ngā rekoata me tana angitu hei kaiwaiata. I whakamārama ia i te take i whakatau ai ia i tēnei, me te kī, "I tīmata ahau ki te tango akoranga puoro i te waru o oku tau. I tīmata ahau ki te tango akoranga waiata opera i te 12 o oku tau. Kāore au i tino whakaaro he pūkenga taku ki te tuhituhi, ā, kāore au i ngana nui tae noa ki te 17 o oku tau. He tino whakama ahau, ā, kāore au i hiahia kia mōhio te tangata, ā, i akiakihia ahau e aku hoa ki te waiata i aku ake waiata ki te hunga whakarongo i te tīmatanga, he mea e tino mihi ana ahau mō tēnei rā."
I roto i te "Ten Love Songs," ka kitea tētahi kaitoi pakeke e tino tātari ana i te ao, e whakamahi ana i ngā tuhipoka hei kōrero i ngā kōrero whakatoi engari he pono. He rite ki tētahi pukaemi kiriata. E ai ki a ia i ētahi wā ka puta he whakaahua i roto i tōna hinengaro i a ia e tito waiata ana, ā, i ētahi wā ka puta he rangi waiata e whakaaro ana ia he mea hopu. "Ko te tikanga he wairua, he kare ā-roto rānei e hiahia ana ahau ki te whakapuaki," tāna tāpiri.
I roto i tana waiata "Darlings" i kī a Sundfør, "Me mutu ngā mea katoa." I te pātaitanga atu mēnā kāore ia i whakapono ki ngā mutunga harikoa, ka whakahoki ia, "E whakapono ana ahau ki ngā mutunga harikoa, engari me mutu hoki ngā mutunga harikoa."
I kī te kaiwaiata i hiahia anō hoki ia ki te tito i tētahi waiata puoro, kanikani rānei i tētahi rā. I mea ia i pai ake ia ki te tito waiata mō tētahi kiriata kāore anō kia hangaia, engari e hiahia ana ia ki te mahi tahi me tētahi kaitoi tirohanga ā tōna wā.
Me i hanga e ia he waiata mō tētahi kiriata, ka whiriwhiri ia ki te mahi tahi me Terrence Malick, me Jonathan Glazer rānei. "Kāore he tupono, engari ko rāua tonu aku kaiwhakahaere tino pai," tana kī.
Mō te whakahāwea tāne/wahine i ngā hui whakawhiwhinga tohu, me te hoatutanga o ngā tohu tāne/wahine kaua ki ngā tohu "toi", i mea ia, "Ki taku whakaaro me whakanui koe mō tō tuakiri, mō ō pūkenga, kaua mō tō ira tangata."
Hei whakamutunga, i tukuna e ia he karere ki ana pā o Turkey, me te kī, "Koinei taku whakaaturanga tuatahi ki Turkey, ā, e tino harikoa ana ahau ki te kite i tō koutou whenua me te takaro hoki mā koutou!"
