Çağrı Sinci - Kreşendo

This is a piece source of pride for me. I used to listen Çağrı Sinci when I was a high school student. Now I have produced one of his track from his EP "Çiçek Böcek" also in LP "Klasik".

Soundtrack for the game "Sagas of Lumin"

I’m beyond thrilled to say that I contributed to this magical world by composing two original tracks for the game that you can ride dragons! Watching the trailer in the Future Games Show alongside so many great titles was a great moment.
