As the title suggests, this work serves as the final lullaby one hears. The catastrophic aftermath of the recent earthquake in Turkey has profoundly affected even those who were not directly impacted by the disaster. This composition is the product of the thoughts that have occupied my mind since that fateful day.
The tape segment of the piece involves the manipulation of a recorded excerpt from the Turkish lullaby "Dandini Dandini Dasdana."

The piece was commissioned by Schallfeld Ensemble

The piece has written to be performed by Ensemble X (Ellen Jewett, Elizabeth Simkin and Xak Bjerken)at the Klasik Keyifler 2018 Composer’s Cauldron.
Second Act: Parumper Phantasiae is the latest work of the miniature series concept that I‘ve been thinking from the last year. This piece contains different instrumental combinations of the trio; nevertheless, miniatures are linked in succession through one single unified course. In this context, it should not be considered that every miniature is an independent structure; rather, each one is an overall part of the whole. This whole introduces a theatrical action. Starting from the first miniature, the series begins with an elegiac spirit, then with the cello solo distorting the harmonic structure it is based on, resembles as a soliloquy in its characteristic. By cutting off the angular blocs as rhythmical, music transforms the more voluminous structure and its frames become blurry gradually.

dep . R(i)e . viv . al . a . tion (2019) for ensemble

"unhappy that i am, i cannot heave 
my heart into my mouth: i love your majesty 
according to my bond; nor more nor less."
			King Lear, I.1: 91-93, Cordelia.

dep . R(i)e . viv . al . a . tion, is an artificial word that was created as considering the phonetic features of both deprivation and revival words.
Just like King Lear's little daughter, Cordelia, many people have organic bonds of pure love. The most bitter of this situation is that they cannot leave these ties behind, and over time they become a cyclic deprivation. These types of situations that cannot be left behind and are transformed again, avoiding the progression of the timeline which creates loops. The deprivations that occur in these repeated cycles with particular or unknown periods inform their endings; in fact, every ending is the cause of a new revival. As Shams- i Tabriz says, ’The end is to return to the beginning.’ 
I have observed that this psychological process, which people have to experience from time to time, has an actual physical reaction on our own bodies. The harmonic cycle of music refers to the psychological process; the music, beginning in the “E” harmonic area, that completes its harmonic cycle by achieving different center tones and ends at the “E” center just like in the beginning. The harmonic function of music also serves the formal structure of itself. Transformed small structures texturally reach up in each center tone during the procedure, which is a reflection of the observed physical results.
