The second piece “Reflections” is represents the emotional reflection of the piece “Twin Moons” on the open sea. The third piece “Haunting Dream” describes the shadows of a dream.

Since my childhood my interest and longing for history affected me quite strongly. My priority is to embrace the progress of the century by maintaining the tradition to create value. The developments strengthen the nostalgic emotions of my soul. Therefore i wanted to transfer my synthesis of new and tradition to my music.

Ege Ülgen was my student at Mimar Sinan University State Conservatory many years ago. In this album, I liked Ocean Waves and Twin Moons the most.
