First of all rather than a photographer I am actually a musician . So...


Boring Stuff

I was born in 1981. I started playing piano after primary school. I studied "Industrial Engineering" in "Bilkent University - Ankara". After graduation in 2003, entered "Composition and Theory Department" in "Bilkent University - Music and Performing Arts Faculty". I studied composition with Mahir Cetiz for three years and now I am studying composition with Turgut Pogun and counterpoint with Bujor Hoinic.

Besides I am doing my M.S degree in "Industrial Engineering" at the "Middle East Technical University".

Jazz

For a couple of years I practiced jazz wih Janusz Szprot and in 2004 participated in Bilkent Jazz Ensemble directed by Janusz Szprot.

Now we are working on a project called Caz Klinik (Jazz Clinic). It is a project that is intended to be somewhere around avant-garde jazz and nu-jazz. Caz Klinik is Guney Ozsan on keyboard, Mustafa Kaya on bass and Cagil Seker on guitar. It is a very young project, so that we don't know what would it be look like at the end.


Rock

Currently I am playing the keyboards of Zakkum (ex-Raindog)

Zakkum is a glam and Brit-pop oriented rock band. They've just released their first album Zehr-i Zakkum on January 2007! Since they started working together in the very last stages of the album preparation, I didn't arrange and play the keyboards in the album.

Zakkum'un konserleri icin: "Zakkum Konserler" adresini ziyaret edin.

Some other bands that I participated in the past are:

1. Gang Band (soul, funk, R&B)


2. Magick (Heavy Metal)


3. MBM (Progressive Rock)


4. Sleepless (Psychedelic & Classic Rock)


5. Tuse (80's Rock)

Production

Me and Cagil Seker () are initiating a music production company, G&C Music Productions. Altough G&C covers most production issues including the creative processes, it will be concentrating on post recording sessions such as mixing and mastering.

Also, I work on music production and arrangement together with Volkan Muhurcuoglu.


Influences

My influences come from very different sources:
Classical (Baroque, Classics, Post-Romantics, Contemporary), Jazz, Rock(from 60's to 90's), Heavy Metal, Electronic (Chemical, IDM, Techno, Electro-Acoustic), and many more...
