   About orhan topcuoglu
Istanbul’da dogdu.

Istanbul erkek lisesi-alman dili ve edebiyati-türk musikisi devlet konservatuvarinda okudu.

Cocukken gittigi her müzikli etkinlikte davulcunun dibine oturdugu icin,gürültüden son derece rahatsiz olan güzel sanatlar perisi onu sonsuza dek her seye vurmaya mahkum etti..

Bu durumu “canina minnet” bilen orhan, hemen izci trampetleri ve pirincten kestirdigi bir daireye hizla vurmaya basladi ve teknolojinin ve babasinin yardimlariyla normal bir davul takimina kavusuncaya dek etrafindaki herkesi canindan bezdirdi..

Davul çalarak basladigi profesyonel müzik yasamina kisa bir süre sonra “vurma sazlar” calarak devam etmenin ruh sagligina ve türk müzik dünyasina daha iyi gelecegini hissetti ve elde avucta ne varsa satip,ondan bundan borc alip kendine bir “vurma sazlar enstrüman parki” kurdu..

O siralarda,özellikle Türk pop müzigi dünyasinda bir enstrüman sayilmayan,”renk getirsin” amaciyla (o da cok ender olarak) kullanilan bu davul-dümbelek yiginini ciddiye alan (cünkü kendini onlarla iyi hissediyordu) orhan, “there is no business like show business” diye naralanarak sahnelerde kosturmaya basladi.

Bu kosturma sirasinda su anda isimlerini hatirlayamadigi (özür!!) sarkicilardan sezen aksu’ya (ki nerdeyse 15 yil sürekli) dek türkiye’de hemen herkese eslik etti.

Bununla da yetinmeyip,utanmadan,ünlü damatlarimizdan ve eurovision fatihi johnny logan (asil ad, seán patrick michael sherrard’dir..bilginize) ve bir tanecik joan baez’e (offff..ne biçim bi insan o öyle) eslik etmek küstahliginda bulundu..

80'li yillarda,türkiye'nin ilk (belki de tek) ve gerçek müzikal prodüktörü egemen bostanci'nin "san müzikholü"nde hemen her yapimda yer aldi.

Dublaj (simdi seslendirme deniyor) yapti. (sesleri alan yorgo iliadis’e rahmets)

74-87 arasinda,müzige ek olarak,cok az insanin (özellikle o genc yasta) görebilecegi en önemli,garip,girgir,sofistike,ilginc,egitici ve renkli bir dünyada yasadi sevgili ertem abi’sinin(egilmez) asistani olarak...ertem egilmez’le metin erksan’in bagira cagira sobet ettikleri (birbirlerini hiç dinlemezlerdi) bir evde onlara kahve yapmanin keyfini,yavuz turgul’lu,kemal sunal’li,sener sen’li,sadik sendil’li,zeki-metin’li,halit akcatepe’li senaryo calismalarinda orada olmanin ne demek oldugunu hissetti.

77 yilinda istanbul devlet senfoni orkestrasi’nda calismaya basladi.(mükerrem berk’e minnets)

97-07 arasinda ayni orkestranin program yönetmenligini üstlendi.

96 yilinda kurdugu “ritmistanbul” vurma sazlar grubuyla brezilya’nin salvador kentinde yapilan ve sanat yönetmenligini nana vasconselos ve gilberto gil’nun (o sirada kültür bakani olmamisti daha) yaptigi “perc-pan” (percussion panorama) vurma sazlar festivaline katildi.ayni grupla ve kani karaca,kubat ve yildiz ibrahimova’nin katildigi bir projeyle istanbul müzik festivalinde yer aldi.

Tv dizi ve film müzikleri,reklam cingillari besteledi.

07 nisaninda,azeri besteci ilyas mirzayef’in kendisi için besteledigi “istanbul” adli eseri sef alexander rahbari yönetiminde,idso esliginde seslendirdi.

Su anda müzik yasamini idso’da sürdürüyor.

Evsiz ve cocuksuz.

Born in istanbul.

Studied at Istanbul Erkek High School first, then German literature, and state conservatoryof Turkish classical music

At the beginning of the 70s joined the band "Donusum", one of the first bands in the pop-folk genre that was emerging in Turkey around that time.

Decided to continue his musical carreer that he started by playing drums by concentrating on a wide array of percussion instruments, thinking that this would be better for his mental health (!) and the Turkish music scene (!) in general. Sold almost everything he had, borrowed money from friends and family and built himself a "Percussion Instruments Park".

Played with almost everybody from Sezen Aksu to people he can't recall the names of right now (sorry!) in the Turkish music scene both on stage and in the studio.

Worked with joan baez and johny logan

Took part in almost every project at Turkey's first and most important music hall "San" from the time it was built (1979) until it burnt down (1987).

Did dubbing for motion pictures and TV

Between 1974 and 1987 lived in an important, weird, funny, sophisticated, interesting, educating and colorful world, that very few people could imagine to be a part of (especially at such an early age) as the assistant of the prominent movie director Ertem Egilmez.

Directed the Ugur Yucel Show, some commercials and music video clips for TV

Starting working at the Istanbul State Symphony Orchestra in 1977. Between 1997 and 2007, acted as the program director for the orchestra.

Joined the "perc-pan" percussion instruments festival held in Salvador, Brazil, the art directors of which were nana vasconselos and gilberto gil (who was not appointed as the culture minister yet) in 1996 with the band "ritmistanbul" founded by himself. Took part in the Istanbul Music Festival with the same band, as part of a project together with kani karaca, kubat and yildiz ibrahimova.

Played on stage in about 40 countries.

Composed TV series and movie soundtracks, as well as jingles.

In April 07, performed the piece "Istanbul" that Azeri composer Ilyas Mirzayef composed for him, together with Istanbul State Symphony Orchestra (IDSO), conducted by Alexander Rahbari.

Currently continues his musical carreer at IDSO.
