Symbolizations from The promise by Mehmet Polat
My village Kısas is just 20 kilometers away from Göbeklitepe in Urfa, Turkey. Archeologists unveiled a temple of approximately 12000 years old there; it was full of symbols on the huge stone pillars.
In my compositions Symbolizations, I played on the grooves of my loop pedal. I used delay and distortion effects. This gave an extra layer to the album about the sound and usage capacity of ud in different ways.
