About me

İstanbul, Turkey

GENERIC INCLINATIONS: Balkan, Jazz, Pop, Rock, Electronic, Classical, Middle Eastern, African, Southern Caucasian, Celtic, Scandinavian, Historical, Liturgical, Latin

AESTHETICS: In music, I believe that what we call ''intercultural'' is actually not intercultural. Because, in music, there's only one culture; music is one language, therefore the culture is the same but the labels, titles, notions, approaches, imaginations differ region by region. Furthermore, these differences are all connected. In music, I enjoy exploring this kind of infinite connections.

ETHICS: I'm a music lover. I don't believe in the idea "art is for art". I believe that true artists are rare on this planet and should be treated delicately because they ought to/must carry and fulfill the responsibility of maintaining good mental health of their societies, and through this, peace for all the living and the planet.
