About me: Baba meslegim olan gemi insaat muhendisligi yapiyorum. Birkac sene once sorsaniz, kimseye tavsiye etmeyecegim bir meslekti ama bu dusunce coktan degisti. Simdi fark ediyorum ki bu eski olumsuz dusuncenin tek nedeni fakultenin zorluguymus. =)
Erenkoy Ilkogretim Okulu, Uskudar Amerikan Lisesi ve Istanbul Teknik Universitesi mezunuyum. "Magdalena" isimli bir grubum var ve arkadasim Umit'le bestelerimiz uzerinde calisiyoruz.
Her ay duzenli olarak Yuxexes dergisine muzik, edebiyat ve sinema hakkinda denemeler, makaleler ve elestiriler yaziyorum.
Varlik, Cumhuriyet Kitap, Radikal Kitap, Cinemascope, Aksam-lik, Gosteri, ve Gerekli Seyler gibi dergi ve gazete eklerinde yazmisligim var.
Yayimlanmis eski makalelerimden bazilarina Mavi Melek Edebiyat'ta ulasabilirsiniz.
Ultimate Metal, The Amen Corner ve Strangelight Records muzik forumlarina da zaman buldukca yazmaktayim.

I'm a naval architect. My suggestion to everyone would be to not become one, but that opinion has changed for the positive as I have realized the only put-off about it was the difficulty of the major at university. =) I'm a graduate of Erenkoy Ilkogretim Okulu, Uskudar American Academy and Istanbul Technical University. I also have a band called "Magdalena." You might hear something soon if we can move our lazy asses to the studio.
I write essays, reviews and articles on music, literature and cinema for Yuxexes every month. My writings have been published in Cinemascope, Varlik, Cumhuriyet Kitap, Radikal Kitap, Aksam-lik, Gosteri, and Gerekli Seyler.
You can read some of my previously printed essays on Mavi Melek Edebiyat (all in Turkish, sorry) here:
Mavi Melek-Denemeler.
I also hang out at a few music forums including Ultimate Metal, The Amen Corner and Strangelight Records.
