Deformed Reflections (2009)

Turkish composer Mesruh Savaş was born in Bulgaria in 1978 and began his music education by playing the piano. After moving to Turkey, he enrolled in Bilkent University in Ankara becoming a student at Theory & Composition Department of Music and Performing Arts Faculty. Here he studied composition and conducting with Işın Metin, Bujor Hoinic, Alfred Michourin and Elena Pushkova. In 2004 his composition Two Movements for Orchestra was awarded with mansion price at “5th Eczacıbaşı National Composition Competition” which helped him made a name among young Turkish composers (he was awarded with second prize for his ballet music The Phoenix at the same competition in 2012).
Later he continued his composition studies with Hasan Uçarsu at Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University State Conservatory in İstanbul, gradually evolving his music style emerging from and guided by a strong sense of harmonic movement and textural transformation.
 Currently a full-time member of the İstanbul University State Conservatory, Savaş also works in the fields of electronic and electro acoustic music and is busy promoting the cause of new music.
