about

These are the outcomes of my collaborations in France, especially with my director friend Irving Mondragon. The album is also my first work as a solo artist. Most of the songs were composed as the theme music for movies and documentaries, usually short films. The order is almost chronological, except for the last two songs, which are the oldest (2008).

Merci à Irving Mondragon, Pierre Vergnes who co-directed some of the early films, William, Emir, Doga, Aurélie, Nina, Emyl, Étienne, Maxi, Anaïs, Lola, les profs en Musico, Zeynep, Nihan, Ayşegül and Vedat.

Thanks also to Oğuzhan Haznedar. I wouldn't have recorded most of the tunes without the acoustic guitar he kindly lent me years ago. And to Arın Egemen who helped me with the album art. And to Onur Yıldırım who taught me some mastering tricks.
