1989, or maybe 1990. At my close friend Cengiz’s home, his older brother’s Saxon tape played Rock the Nations for the first time, and something began: the rebellion, power and nerve in that music were exactly what my teenage self was looking for. Almost forty years on, my love of rock and metal has not faded; it has widened. Classical, electronic, jazz and the avant-garde joined over time, pulling me a little further each day toward more complex, more progressive music.
The electric guitar my father bought me in 1991 has hardly left my hands since. My instruments multiplied along with my taste: today I think of myself mostly as a bass player, but, as you can hear in my compositions, I play every instrument in a rock band.
My own compositions move between symphonic metal and progressive rock and metal; in short, rock and metal shaped by classical music. Here you will find live recordings of Prelude, a band formed in Istanbul in the early 2000s, the album and singles I released under my own name, my music videos and, more recently, songs I have made with AI.
