| Introducing the album I made with the tape recorder, dreaming about my own album when I was 6. |
 |
| Me ,with the singer-songwriter set for children. The happiness of me when I find it in my bed was ineffable. Although my parents didn't want me to study music in Turkey, they were always supportive about me being a musician. And since it is Berklee where I am applying to, they couldn't be more excited... |
Since I was 10 months old, I have been responding to music distinctively. When I was 14 month old, every time the orchestral them of the TV show Young and Restless, “Nadia's Theme”, starts to play I would close my eyes, raise my arms and clench my fists and release them repeatedly. Since I was 2, I've been singing for hours walking around the room.
I wanted to play guitar when I was 6, but people said: “You're too young for that” and I started playing keyboards instead. Influenced by the success stories of engineers and scientists that my father used to tell me and successful at science courses, I was oriented to study science at high school. But I have always composed music, played classic guitar (since 12) and later electric guitar to improve my solo guitar skills.
I was studying science and maths in the best ranked high school in my home town. It had never felt right, but I was not aware that I was in the wrong path. And in 2009 when Michael Jackson died I realized nothing is right. I realized I don't want to keep studying for the regular college entrance exams.
I could never convince my parents to let me take the exams to study in conservatory. They told that I could take music lessons outside school and make my music in my spare time with my bands. My father's researches showed that music schools in Istanbul are unqualified to train students and that students are not happy with their teachers in general. Moreover, all those schools teach classical music; there is no music school that teaches Contemporary music. And it is a sadly accepted fact that art is never treated with respect and care in Turkey. Not allowed or willing to take the conservatory entrance exams, I chose to major in Industrial Design in a university partly because of it's discipline's similarity with composing and arranging, and the relation between consumer and listener. Something else was interestingly similar between industrial design and composing: the designer has to design the products that are producible and the composer has to create music that is possible to be performed exactly how the composer desires. I got into Bahcesehir University's Industrial Design department with half scholarship (Paying around $7,000 a year). My passion for music and the pieces I composed have kept me hopeful about the future. I am currently a senior in university. I have successfully passed all the lessons so far.
My university classes are demanding and stressful. Still I always find a way to make time to immerse myself into my music. In my sophomore year of college I accepted to be the composer for the theatre productions of my school -Official Link- (The Good Person of Szechwan by Brecht and All My Sons by Arthur Miller). The time I spend on composing the scores and the product gave me pride and peace.
In 2011 I started singing lessons as my teacher is still Timur Selçuk; well known pianist, composer, conductor and singer in Turkey, and France, of 60s and 70s.
I hope music, my profound passion and biggest devotion, will be my main responsibility, as this responsibility will bring me joy, happiness and peace, no matter how tiresome it will be. I love being on stage, composing and collaborating with different musicians. Last summer in Berklee's 5 Week program, every moment and every single thing I had to do in Berklee felt so right and motivating, making me understand that Berklee, where I must develop my skills and add more perspective to my vision every moment, is where I am meant to be.
(Pieces with * symbol shows my Film scorer side in a more focused way)
After 5 Week:
1-Path To 1140 Boylston -Instrumental Jazz/Pop, Waltz-:
1-Path To 1140 Boylston -Instrumental Jazz/Pop, Waltz-:
The intro portrays the first time I was on my way to Berklee. I performed the vocals at the last part of the song, played the piano parts —on my Midi keyboard— and the guitar parts.
I recorded everything at my home studio. The equipments/devices used are an electric guitar, a condenser microphone, a Midi keyboard, a sound card and a computer. I notated and edited the other instruments (including upright bass and drums), which are MIDI-generated modelings.
This piece showcases the vision I attained in the 5 week program, fuels my passion and intensifies my hope for the compositions I dream to write in my time at Berklee.

2-Mozart's Piano Sonata No.11 III. Rondo Alla Turca Jazz Cover -Jazz-:
I made a 12/8 cover of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's masterpiece. The vocal and classic guitar performances are mine. (It's a single take from the beginning to 1:23, so it is in real time) The piano, bass, drum arrangements are made by myself too...

3-Alone Tonight -Pop / Soul -:
This is my most recent original song. I am happy and proud to have created its chord progression and all instrumentations. For the first time I used question-answer phrases of vocals and guitars (in verses), which I wrote and performed.
https://soundcloud.com/can17/alone-tonight
4-İstanbul -Middle Eastern Fusion / Turkish Music-:
Classical guitar, electric guitar, darbuka (A middle eastern percussion) and vocals are performed/recorded by me. I only played one darbuka but recorded 4 different channels. In one channel, I made the darbuka sound like maracas by rubbing a napkin on it after hitting.https://soundcloud.com/can17/turkish-march

5- Tomorrow Starts Tonight -Funk/Jazz-:
I played the classic guitar in the tender prelude as well as all the electric guitar parts including the solo melodies, chords at the final part and the rhythm guitars. I wrote the lead and backing vocal lines, and made all the instrumental arrangements. The piano solo composition is also my work. The only other person who has credit in this piece is the lyricist: Lance W Toohey — a published poet.
I recorded everything at my home studio. The instruments/devices used are a classical guitar, an electric guitar, a condenser microphone, a sound card and a computer. I notated and edited the other instruments, which are MIDI-generated modelings.
I believe my song doesn't belong to any time period or one particular style. It is a comprehensive and absolute reflection of my musical knowledge, taste and skills to the profoundest.

6- Believe -PopJazz Ballad-
I imagine that this song's music video would be taken in Boston. Intro, where I say hi to some friends in the way of 150 Mass. Ave Berklee...
This song has the most sincere, kindly fictional lyrics I wrote recently. The keyboard solo is input to a guitar amp, that gives an unusual yet friendly tone.
I am glad with the backing vocals, traffic, ambience sound of this song.

2- A Future Without You -Glam Rock/Rock Ballad-
The newest recording of the first Rock Ballad song I composed and arranged. I dream and believe that this song will make me win a Grammy in the future. Even it's very first version was watched more than 5000 times on Youtube in 4 months and I made the song unlisted because of the nightmares I had seen, like the one in which the song was stolen by famous rockstars. This is the newest version of the song, uploaded to my Soundcloud account (Bass line and Guitar solo are collaborations, with my roommates in Berklee Five Week Program, scholarship students Marcelo Maccagnan and Ricardo Barbosa de Almeida) [June 2011], (I'm also adding the first version's link for you to evaluate my development):

*3- Lazy Enough To Believe -Progressive(Boogie/Blues/New Age)-
I started composing song in July 23 2013. Although I composed and recorded the New age part in İstanbul after I returned from Boston, I still wanted to categorize this piece in here. This song is a progressive song that includes tree main parts; Boogie-Woogie, Blues, New Age. I had no knowledge about Blues scale before 5 week, but I love it since then. The saxophone part is written solely in the blues scale. Imagine this song's boogie-woogie part as the music of a video game, like Crash Bandicoot![August 2013]:

4- Exist To Fuse -Experimental-
This one is so important because it's another collaboration with some friends in Five Week Program 2013: Paul Meland played Tenor Saxophone, my roommates Marcelo and Ricardo played Bass and electric guitar. Classical Guitar line is composed and performed by myself. I arranged the song and mixed it. We finished recording in less than an hour. But the song is unfinished; I hope Paul, Ricardo, Marcelo and I will complete this in Berklee full time program, hopefully If I can get a good scholarship [July 2013]::

1-I have a desire to become a music professor also. I strive to make a change in the world, and teaching is a strong way to achieve that dream. In this video, you are going to watch the method I developed for memorizing 12 major keys and finding out the notes of a key fast:

*2-Istanbul's hidden places is a group research of four students from the Design Academy Eindhoven about the interaction between people and public space. And they interviewed me about my instrumental piece "Nice To Nature" and how I started composing it related to the place I started composing it. My song's different parts are used in various parts of the documentary:

3-I have a neurological condition called Synesthesia, which makes senses mix up and work together like allowing to see the shapes and colors of smells, tastes and most importantly the color and visual texture of the sounds. I see every song's color instantaneously when I hear them. Especially in old songs released by Sony Music, after I listen to a song, I realize that the main colors of the music video is the color of the song. I had been thinking that everyone can see the color of music, but I realized it's a special thing after I learned about synesthesia from the pianist of my band in 2012. This made me think Sony was hiring synesthetic people to decide the main color of the music video, which will make the video and the music harmonize successfully, as I was finding the prevalent color in the song accurate all the time. The most obvious one for me was Michael Jackson's song One More Chance. The video was never finished and released because of the trials of Jackson in 2003. And until then, I kept telling the color of the song was dark blue. When the video was released in 2010, I proved myself, -but I still was thinking everyone had this condition in then-. This condition always allows me to make choices about instruments and arrangements with their colors, while I evaluate how they sound. My second major choice is Film Scoring, which I can study if I get a good scholarship, and I know I can compose good music considering I can also evaluate the scene's composition. Here's the test I took online; in the second page there is the test result of sound-music condition type. And famous people with Synesthesia:

3-Kalabalıktaki Sıradanlar (Ordinary Ones In The Crowd) -Progressive Pop-Jazz- This is the first song of me which I tried to create jazz riffs for the piano, and I believe I did an interesting job in some parts. But the unique thing about this song is its unique traffic, its instrumental bridges, chorus and the outro solo which includes an electric guitar, classical guitar, and a brass part respectively. [October 2012]:

4-Lively -Experimental-
I composed this piece for my cousin Seçil Mutlubaş. A happy minor melody :) This is one of my very first compositions, but this is the second mix of the arrangement. If I arranged the chord structure in today's theory knowledge of mine, it would totally be different but I don't want to disrupt the sincerity of the time [January 2012]:

This was my other 5 Week Ensemble's performance song that I composed much before, I am not uploading the video because of the ensemble's drummer's less than perfect performance. But this made me one of the few songwriter's arrangers whose songs are performed in the final week. Tom Stein was the director, and I am so glad about it. This song reveals the bass tones of my voice. The song has a unique traffic: Verse-Pre Chorus-Solo-Verse-Pre Chorus-Chorus-Solo. Chorus only comes one time in the whole song! I am proud of my arrangement especially in guitar solos' backings. Also chorus is really worth waiting:

Backing guitar melody is by my friend; the keyboard player of my band. He played the backing guitar in this and mixed the song because back then I had no equipment.
