What's around the corner? (mastered)

The song is dedicated to the legendary acting performances by Ugurlu and Bayulgen in, arguably, one of the best Turkish films, Agir Roman and it includes one of the most memorable lines in the movie. Oud and Ney were recoded in Buselik Maqam. The song is optimized for listening with a pair of high-quality headphones.

Tribute to Soapkills's "Marco Slow," the inspiration for this song.

Inspiring dream (yattim ruyaya)

The piece is my re-interpretation of a 80s song, Yalan Dunya, which would fall into the genre called "arabesque." Both the lyrics and the singing style are moody and dark which I appreciate about the piece. The original was performed by a few different singers back in the day. My favorite is Guler Isik's version. 

Lyrics: "Geldi, gecti yalan dünya. Hepsi yalan; sanki ruya."
