Sadi Kutlu Özbay - Hope (for a day with her in Istanbul) - 2006

At the high school I used to spend time with a piano which I would like to begin at an early age. Bill Evans, Jim Hall, Beethoven I was listening these nearly everyday, and I figured out a little after a couple of months to play piano along with guitar. Unfortunately I have failed at the first grade that year and my personal life turned more confusing then that I couldn't spare much time on music.

Musicians usually make such 'improvisations' to have drafts and then use the harmonious patterns in other takes or compositions. Although I was neither a good piano player or a good improviser I was thinking I've found some nice patterns that I could use in another composition along with piano or even strings.

To play music for a beloved person has always been a good motivation for me while studying music. Writing a text message, or a mail anything I think I was quite young and resisting not to be pretentious using some niche words, "as a mediator of flirting", but music I used to find more real and liberating to express my feelings or thoughts that in the end I could also myself be sure of it was real (or bona fide).

(The last -a bit noisy- guitar part is actually from one of the takes which I don't like a lot but this one I could only find.)
