June 2023. I have an endless passion about islands. I keep asking myself “How’s the island?”. Out of nowhere Sarp Maden felt creative started sending me almost finished songs and then I added more sounds in single takes, layers of feelings, then he took them all to Sanem Kalfa to add life & breath. In the Bandcamp definition I tried to put it as straight as I can: The witnesses to these sounds are Taurus Mountains, Lycian Way, Phaselis Ancient City, the Peninsula in Kaş, the Twin Rocks, cicadas and all those endless stars in the big black sky.
