About Me

..

Personal:

love being a living thing, love my family, my friends, they are very, very, very important to me. love music, without it I would be nothing and love teaching music to any one who is enthused enough about learning and enjoying it. Traveling, driving, cooking, reading, watching movies, doing some crazy stuff every once in a while and being lazy are the things I very much enjoy. I hate being pretentious and can't stand people who are pretentious. So why don't you go and figure me out on your own, that would be great! Thanks!.

"Our ignorance of history causes us to slander our own times." ~Gustave Flaubert~

"Neither idiocy nor wisdom recognizes religions, languages, races and borders. If experiencing inanity is in order, human being eventually will experience that ridiculousness. Learning from that experience, becoming wiser and not replicating that ludicrousness matter the most."

"A human being is part of a whole, called by us the "Universe," a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest--a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty." ~Albert Einstein~

Music:

Bach, Bartok, Barber, Brahms, Ravel, Mahler, Beethoven, Shostakovich, Schoenberg(esp.Verklarte Nacht [Transfigured Night]), Philip Glass, Eric Serra, Nino Rota, Cliff Martinez, Danny Elfman, Goran Bregovic, Corea, Hancock, Tatum, Monk, "Bud" Powel, Grapelli, Django!, Taraf de Haidouks, Turkish Folk Music, Erkan Ogur, Mercan Dede, Piazzola, Billie Holiday, Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, Jimmy Hendricks, Michael Hedges, Yngwie Malmsteen, Herbie Mann, Roland Kirk, Jaco Pastorius, Solas, Hazerfan, Madeleine Peyroux, Thomas Dybdahl, Zero 7 and many more...

Movies:

Well, don't know where to start, all Scorsese, all Kurosawa, all Miyazaki Hayao, all Hitchcock, all Besson, all Allen, all von Trier, all Jarmusch, all Tarantino, all Soderbergh, all Burton, most of the noir movies, most of Lynch, and let's not forget Greenaway, the Hours by Steven Daldry and of course "Head-On", "In July" and "Crossing the Bridge: The Sound of Istanbul", all by Fatih Akin!!

Heroes:

Heroism is sometimes "highly" overrated or easily and unfairly granted. A person composing or playing a beautiful piece of music, which nurtures and saves the soul and mind, can be a hero or heroine as well as a doctor trying to save a preemie... Taking any one in consideration as hero or heroine all depends on how people see other people, perceive incidents and process all those in their minds.
