Jazzmosax

Born: July 19, 1953

English version (Dutch version below):

Guitars, IT job, piano, clarinet, and saxophone...

Among these, the saxophone struck a profound chord with me and became a lifelong passion. It led me to discover my love for jazz and improvisation, particularly in the realm of mainstream, melodic jazz. The songs I composed during the '80s and '90s reflect this preference but also incorporate unique harmonies and time signatures.

Although I  frequently performed these compositions on stage, it wasn't until 2022 that I decided to record and release them. This endeavor resulted in two albums, A10 and Thisav, as well as a track named "Chujad."" In August 2023, I unveiled Fried, an album featuring entirely new compositions with a fresh perspective on rhythm and blues chord sequences. February 2025 witnessed the release of Airlift, new compositions with a focus on backing rhythms. Thank you for your support, and I hope you enjoy the music.

Serra Bilgincan

Born: February 10, 1998

Born in Istanbul in 1998, I attended high school at Üsküdar American Academy, and completed my undergraduate education in architecture at the University of the Arts London: Central Saint Martins.

In my dissertation titled “Space and Sapiens: A Comparison of Philosophical Approaches to the New Cognitive Approaches to Space,”  I compared philosophical propositions regarding the
human-environment relationship with the findings of cognitive sciences. I explored how the combination of the two disciplines could lead to a more
human-centered design.

Since 2020, I have been working as an independent designer and artist. In my work, I follow emotionally provoked intellectual interests—ranging from the origins of life, ancient lives of Homo sapiens, evolution, and the first land settlements, to the agricultural and industrial revolutions, and the inner landscapes of modern humans. My intention is often to weave poetic dialogues between science, philosophy, anthropology.
