about

In the days that I learn about the amount of the energy that is essential to learn, to decide or to give up about something, my EP “Poignant” will be released from a Finland based label Ghaful on 8th of May, with my gratitude to @ucucmusic, and everything and everyone in my life. Even its every single detail from cover photo to mix-mastering were ready a year ago, I neither dared to release or give up on it. This EP’s sound is combined with traditional tones from our geography and unfamiliar/unconventional sounds. My aim was to salute past and future from my humble existence in present.

One of the most important reasons of my excitement is that I spent the production process of this EP by myself. It was my first mix and mastering experience and it was my first disciplined work flow during my lifetime. ( I got this discipline by following footsteps/workflows of my beloved mates for long roads @dolukadehiterstut.)

During and after recording the EP, I got various helps from my close and distant friends. (I will publish a very long credits links with EP’s release) But first and foremost of my helpers, I want to thank the embodiment of the patience and beauty, Baris Ergun. (Not only because he was my beloved roommate who introduced me to electronic sound and supported me through my noisy process, but also he found the name Poignant.)

Of course, I realized that everything has not been finished by only just the phase of production. When I said that I needed a cover photo, @benzeynepdilara whom I admired all her documentaries and images shoot the cover photo. And those beautiful hands are belong to @elifcansuakbiyik. The process was so easy for me because Zeynep shared my exicitement for the project as well. (One more time, thanks my dear Zeynep Dilara.)

After all of these I was thinking that everything was ready. I spent a year with concerts, roads, parties, separations, depressions, excitements… with which I realize I was ready for nothing.

I hope you will also sense the texture I tried to engrave and the sound universe that I hope to create and get lost inside it. Thus, getting lost is like a road to self-discovery, it’s oscillating in-between the spectrum of deciding and surrendering/ abandoning/giving up.
