This piece, played in the scale Hijazkiar (also known as the double major harmonic scale in the Western world), blends multiple sounds from Greek/Near East culture such as the Laouto (Lute) and Sadouri (Santoor) with the modern sound of the electric guitar.

MIDI Composition (In GarageBand)

In essence, the saz is the Turkish take on the bouzouki. This song, played in the scale Houzam, combines my Greek bouzouki playing with Turkish saz MIDI notation, creating an interesting sound.

First Composition in Logic

This project incorporated bouzouki and an almost folk-like melody with elements of EDM (heavy beat and bass boosted synths), bridging the gap between two musical genres I enjoy.

Final Project

This collaboration project was fun to make. With its lower key and narrow note range, it's calm and mellow until the bass kicks in.
