réfraction
In the stillness between thought and emotion, Onur Tarçın contemplates refraction—not just as a physical phenomenon, but as a lens through which we perceive our world. 'réfraction' becomes an exploration, inviting listeners to ponder the subtle bends in their understanding, the shifts in their emotions, and the delicate dance of human interactions. Drawing from the nostalgia of a '70s piano, merged seamlessly with the richness of analog synthesizers and strings, Onur crafts a soundscape that is at once familiar yet intriguing. As the composition unfolds, it morphs and evolves, much like the elusive nature of refraction itself. Accompanied by the evocative visuals of Jason Ting, 'réfraction' is less a song and more a quiet reflection on the intricacies of our perceptions.

SCENT OF MY DAUGHTER
"Scent of My Daughter" unfolds as an award-nominated original score accompanying a tale of three lives intertwined by fate and bound by resilience. Onur Tarçın seamlessly melds the resonating tones of instruments like the Oğur Sazı, Kopuz, Fretless Guitar, and Charango with his evocative piano compositions. Drawing influences from Turkey, France, and Israel, Anatolian instruments like the Kabak Kemane meet the deep emotions of the Armenian Duduk, all set against an orchestral backdrop. As the film’s narrative delves into pain, strength, and hope, Onur's music speaks in whispers and roars, capturing the soul of a journey that bridges tragedy with hope.
