Onur Tarçın

I often wonder if things are getting worse or if it’s just about perspective. The knowledge of the past is colouring the feelings of the present. Hasn’t this world been always just a little bit insane? Aren’t some people dancing right now as others go to sleep in tears? Don’t all good things come to an end while bad ones linger in the background? This mood I’m in right now is strange – it’s contemplative yet disgruntled. What will I do about it all? At least, I will create. I think I’ll make some music to express my inner state and paint emotions with my sound. But first, I turn to Onur Tarçın, a Turkish multi-instrumentalist and composer based in Paris, whose music seemed to trigger and then quiet all these thoughts. Listening to “A Piece of Sky”, I am reminded of our vast universe and of all our real insignificance that we seem to ignore while caught up in our stories… of the lives that we live and the moments that we share… And even if these thoughts [and skies] may not relieve our sorrows, perhaps this music [and these words] for just a second will.
