Sound recording has always been in my life. On this, I work with an agency significant in Turkey, Melodika. In sound recording, you need to be represented correctly. Melodika has really been able to defend my rights in such a fast and rough sector. They are one of the reasons on my becoming one of the two or three most wanted voices in Turkey. But, what if they get even older……What will I do without them? I guess I’ll quit work and will not continue…
Working with Melodika is one of the very correct decisions I made in my life. It has been many years. All the friends there are very special people; Didem, Taylan, Sevgi, Merve, Serap… you feel the family there, there are things we share. Being a family is, gathering on New Year’s, greeting each other on holidays. They stood at a very correct and nice place since the beginning so that relationship never turned into something commercial.
My film must have the same simplicity as mine when I come across a person. Thing you call a movie language, this is simplicity for me. We should have some ethics and measures when we use the sounds as well. One that is trying to excite people is a sound and also my silence is a sound. One of the things I love the most in movies is silence. I believe I make people feel the sense of life the most like this. I am a man who calls silence a sound. As a matter of fact, this is my biggest loneliness. When we work together with Serdar (Ongoren) at Melodika, we try to make a sound by saying “there is no sound here”. One of the good sides of working with Melodika is this.
I care about sound a lot. Let’s not generalize, but currently, sound comes after the story and image in the sector. While forming a story, we first think of the event pattern and its visual counterpart. Then, like a fake mustache, we think of the sound. Whereas, sound is one of our five senses and this is why it has big power. Producers who know the importance of sound are increasing each day. I work with Melodika for many years. One of the proofs of my life to Melodika is my choosing to work with them when I make a full length film. I wanted to find the benefits I expect from sound at Melodika. I used there as my home, I felt relaxed and secure. Melodika has always fed me within its field of expertise…Like part of my family.
