Jazzy Me -in a musical world

Tue Aug 4, 2009, 8:39 AM
  • Mood: Bemused
  • Listening to: music
I am the personal definition of Jazz. Sometimes classical, sometimes fusion, sometimes bebop… but usually free: I experiment on different ideas and feelings.
I have feel of revolutionary and genuinely gorgeous Miles Davis tunes, or simply the crazy mix of astonishing sounding notes from Larry Coryell. Or Hiromi Uehara, who is emotionally energetic, maybe because all those emotions inside her reflect on the piano, to tell you to jump, do something. Let them make a sound!
But I may be John Coltrane, who is hard to understand sometimes, who uses all 12 notes in a way that ties people up to those long, basically complex solos. It doesn’t end, it doesn’t let you go, it’s an endless pleasure like in some land in deep ocean full of psychedelic algae and fish with contradicting colors.
I may be Cannonball Adderley, who uses technique for a misty sentimentality (weird, isn’t it?) and actually turn you on with it. Well no, I’m definitely not Cannonball then, it was a wrong guess.
But I might be Jaco’s music. Pastorius Beril. I’m not as insane as Jaco himself, but I’m as punky as his music, deep inside. His bass slaps and solos define my daydreams and fantasies, while Charles Mingus defines my happy/pleased/content self. Just like when eating mandarins, grapes, buying a ticket for a show I really want to see, or crossing the sea under the Bosphorus bridge in a sea motor. Or how I feel when I wake up in the morning and find out that I don’t have school that day, so I can go back to sleep again. When I get back to sleep, the sweet sensation I get from closing my eyes again is Oscar Peterson’s music. And when I get in the middle of my dream, it is wildly the fusion of Mike Stern’s guitar. His music is some conceptionally different version of my dreams –good or bad. What’s funny about this is, I rarely remember my dreams. But if I remember one, I never forget it.
Stan Getz is the Bossa-me. I’m not always bossa, my sister is, but I’m bossa when I’m with someone I’m fond of, and really like. I like that mood, it is a mildly warm feeling.
Sometimes I’m a Greg Osby tune which consist of unique, matchless, random but inspirational and mind-freeingly beautiful sentences of music. It is melodically free in a way that catches you and wraps you up inside it. I can sometimes be like that, and it is way too cool. But it usually happens when I’m alone or with people I really love. What happens when I’m with people I’m not comfortable with, so I can’t spend my time with people the way I want, I become Bill Evans songs. The beauty of the melody closes up in its own, and you have to really listen to it closely to appreciate it. It’s a shy music, in the way I am in those shelled up moments.
I’m Charlie Haden’s contrabass when I feel really good about myself. Like when I achieve something, feel pretty, smart, creative or intelligent, sound very good… The times I’m proud, I have these Charlie Haden’s Liberation Music Orchestra moments and I’m very happy, confident, strong.
I’m sound of Joshua Redman’s sax when I don’t really care about something. I don’t know why this happens with his music though, I guess it’s just free, not free jazzy but free from concern and deep thoughts. When I do care about something, especially someone, I’m Django Reinhardt. It’s a sensitive music…kind, nice and lovely. I become Django’s swinging guitar, when I care about someone and do my best to swing that person too with happiness.
I’m Ahmad Jamal’s piano when I’m hopeful and excited. It is a pretty feeling, excitement. Especially before giving a concert or just before opening a gift from someone you know would get you something thrilling.
But it’s all about love. “Love and Laughter”. Love for life, love for everything. I’m the music of Eldar Djangirov, when I’m in love.
I am the one specific composers’ music though, who isn’t in this world of jazz musicians yet. I am that amazing person’s music when my lifelong dreams come true. That musician’s literally me: Beril Meşe. I will be composing the tunes that will naturally define me, as a person whose dreams came true and keep coming true.

Across the Universe

  • Mood: Enjoying The Show
Words are flying out like
endless rain into a paper cup
They slither while they pass
They slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow waves of joy
are drifting thorough my open mind
Possessing and caressing me

Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world

Images of broken light which
dance before me like a million eyes
That call me on and on across the universe
Thoughts meander like a
restless wind inside a letter box
they tumble blindly as
they make their way across the universe

Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world

Sounds of laughter shades of life
are ringing through my open ears
exciting and inviting me
Limitless undying love which
shines around me like a million suns
It calls me on and on across the universe

Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world

  • Mood: I Have To Pee
  • Listening to: Papers - Portecho (:
  • Drinking: IceTea
Okullar bitti dedik tatilin yarısı geçti ve sonunda saroz'a gidiyoruz!
Çok uzun zamandır gitmiyodum ve çok özledim. Ama sadece 6 gün kalı;p dönecez çünkü 1 Ağustos'ta Norah Jones konseri var.

Mike Stern konserine giremedim kapıları kapadılar ve Dave WEckl ile Anthony Jakson'ı görmek, bir imza almak fikri yalan oldu.
Onun yerine Sardunya'da babamla sahneyi kuruyorum ve işinde yardım ediyorum. Beni stajyer olarak yanına aldı. Kablolu yada telsiz mikrafonlar aktif yada pasif hoparlörler analog yada dijital mikserler.. onları öğrenip kuruyorum işte. Oldukça eğlenceli bir olay.

Salı günü Air konseri var kaçırmamam gereken. Aynı zamanda birde Moutin Reunion olacak bütün gece. Ama onu kaçırabiliriz malesef çarşamba gidiyoruz zaten.

Masstival sü;perdi. Mikrafon bazı konserlerde çok ötse de yada bazı sahne kazaları problemleri olsa da sü;perdi.
Tori Amos, Pain of Salvation, Cake, Riverside, Paatos, Sıfır KM ve Portecho ciddi sü;perdi, bazı grupları da yeni keşfettim iyiki gitmişim dediğim bir festivaldi.

Ne kadar Haziran ayında 50 derecede canımın yandığı günler olsa da şu anda havanın olması gerektiği gibi olduğu kanaatindeyim. Her yaz olduğu gibi sıcak, pişiyoruz, ama küresel ısınmanın etkisi ayrı çıkıyor tabi.

Ve başlıktan anlaşılacak bir parazit sorunumuz var. Sivrisinekler ve kedilerin getirdiği pireler cozuttuğu için artık yatmadan önce parazit avına çıkıyoruz. İlaçta işe yarar tabi. Ama alıştılar ona.

Ağustos ayı boyunca Istanbuldayım. Keşke olmasam =/ .

hede hödö.

Ehue hazırlık atlama sınavı da böylece bitti. Ya eridiğimiz yada buharlaştığımız son iki hafta boyunca oks stresi şu bu okulun bitmemesi vs ezdi biraz beni ama bitti bunlar. konser monser dedik o da yok gibi. temmuz gelmedi tabi daha. ve ben geri geldim tatile gidebilcekmiyim bilmiyorum umarım olur öyle bişey.
serin yerlerde oturmak gibisi kalmadı zaten. babamla mikser kuruyoruz ses düzeniyle uğraşmaya başladım. seneye nerde olursa orda a/v öğrencisi olacam.
bu arada 429 mu yaptım 408 mi hiç bi fikrim yok ciddi stres oldum 408 ise koçtayım o kesin.. umarım değildir ama ya. 10 temmuz heyecanla beklenir..
sıcaktan bezmiş sıkıntı dolu günler yaşıyoruz. ortaköye bile gidemez oldum korkunç bi durum. günlerim mikser kurmayı ve sahne plasmanı yapmayı öğrenmekle, malak gibi yatmakla geçiyor. bide derin istanbuldayken gta oynamakla!
neyse kütü;phane kapanıyor ve benim gevezeliğim burda sona eriyor. herkese iyi afrika sıcakları!

I'm alive alright.

  • Listening to: Map of the Problematique by Muse.
  • Reading: River Boy.
  • Eating: Meat.
  • Drinking: Apple Juice.
Nothing seemed so normal to me. I feeling I'm a part of "right now." Yeah I'm living but I have nothing to do and I have lots to do. And I know nothing about me. I realised that newly. I wanna know me!

Seems like I'm so bored and stuff.
And all my excitement about everything faded away I don't know what to do really.

All I do is getting high without drinking/smoking (which I never do that) by listening to music and getting lost in that spirit of melodies.
