Turkish-born composer, performer, beat creator, producer and DJ Ušur Došan prefers to create his own palette of tonal colors and textures, combined with more familiar sounds, to produce something new. Sequenced rhythms constantly evolve: unfolding, collapsing, climaxing into polyrhythmic bliss, all without losing its' meditative nature. Clearly, Ugur Dogan lived and breathed this philosophy in making his first cd "Gam I Āzād". An essential addition to any collection of Electronica, Ambient, Space-Rock, and/or Meditation music.
Imagine a more primal, more organic Tangerine Dream and you will have some idea where Turkeys Ugur Dogan lies. Using a combination of piano, synths and traditional middle-eastern stringed instruments and percussion, Dogan conjures soundscapes of many moods, from simply beauty through joy, exhileration and fear. "Gam I Āzād" contains careful composition, building complex layers from simple tonal statements. Sometimes it sounds like there are two compositions overlaid upon one another, such as a TD style synth swell over a rhythmic jazz piano trio, each layer enhancing the other.
