My first album Intuitions (2026) has been released!

​

This album brings together my works Concerto for Kanun and String Quintet (2017), The Tale of a White Dove (2019) for brass quintet, and Leaves from a Diary (2024) for piano.

​

I had the privilege of working with many wonderful people who made this album possible; no amount of thanks could fully express my gratitude for their efforts and contributions.

​

To Esra Berkman, who brought musical depth and humility to the Concerto for Kanun and String Quintet; and to the members of the string quintet, Ceren Türkmenoğlu, Tanay Totuk, Tuğçe Baydar, Hakan Hürkan Şahin, and Gizem Sözeri, for their outstanding musicianship and contributions;

​

To Cihan Yücel for his sincere and sensitive performance in Pages from a Diary, and to my dear friend Suat Armağan Koçak, a wonderful person who came from Istanbul for the recording of this music;

​

To the members of the Bilkent Brass Quintet, Julian Lupu, Onurcan Çağatay, Mustafa Kaplan, Cem Güngör, and Noriyoshi Murakami, who brought The Tale of a White Dove to life;

​

To Ahmet Özgül, the wonderful person and musician who supported us in every way during the recording of the Concerto for Kanun and String Quintet and The Tale of a White Dove, and in preparing all the music on the album for release, and who opened the doors of ASC Studio to us;

​

To all the members of the Özkoç Music Collective, each an outstanding musician in their field, I extend my heartfelt thanks for their efforts, patience, friendship, and support that made this album possible.

​

Finally, I would like to sincerely thank Bilkent University for their support in making the recording of Leaves from a Diary possible, and Assoc. Prof. Tolga Yayalar, Vice Dean of the Faculty of Music and Performing Arts, for his attentiveness and assistance throughout this process.
