Terrible things going around the world, thousands of fires in Brazil's Amazon rainforest, deforestation of tens of thousands of trees on Mount Ida due to gold mining activities and melting glaciers in Iceland due to climate change. I think we are about to near the critical point of no return and none of the governments seem to care about this catastrophic issue. The human race should not be taking real actions when push comes to shove, right? (actually we are at a stage that push came to shove but still...). Isn't it why we are humans? Or are we not?
Let's be Pollyannas for a while and believe that music can heal all this dreadfulness...
As Plato once said;
“Music is a more potent instrument than any other for education.”

I am happy to announce my second album, this time in EP format, is out. You can reach the songs from almost all digital platforms (i.e. Tidal, Apple Music, Amazon, YouTube, Spotify just to name a few). You only need to search the names "IBS (Improvised Bowel Syndrome)" or "Songs From A Dwarf Planet"... Hope you enjoy them...

Summer heat waves across Europe, record temperatures being recorded all over the world and still persistent denials of climate change from many governments. I guess next generations will really have to suffer from the consequences of actions (more non-actions) of today's politicians. But now let's focus on music which might provide us some cool breeze at unpleasant times like this...
As Frank Zappa once said;
"Information is not knowledge. Knowledge is not wisdom. Wisdom is not truth. Truth is not beauty. Beauty is not love. Love is not music. Music is the best."

As Igor Stravinsky once said;
"I haven’t understood a bar of music in my life, but I have felt it"
