S U M M A R Y


BEGINNING;

 

This album is in MP3 format and comes with a PDF book. It has been distributed to 12 people around the world who don't know each other. These 12 people and the ones they've copied/distributed the album have all the rights for copying and distributing other than commercial uses. The only request from the listeners is to be selective in whom they are going to give the album. Don't give it to people who will only "hear" but won't "listen" to it. Don't put it into internet. You cannot share everything with everyone.
 

END;

 

This game will be finished when the work is in the internet, on radios or TVs. Every good thing has an end that's for sure. The end of this game will be executed by the executioner who will try to share it with everyone. Because I have no remedy for this I'm just smiling at him/her. He/she doesn't know what he/she is doing.
 

OBJECTIVE;

 

... is to make the world deprived of only "hearing" this album. Hearing and listening are very similar to understanding and comprehension. Everyday we hear a lot of things. We listen very little of them. Some of us already got deaf. At least this time, the listeners will decide who's worthy/available/appropriate. The artist doesn't want to supress anyone to like his music. But letting people know about it is suitable.
 

REASON;

 

The mouse has been offended by the mountain (this one is a Turkish proverb). Just a little game. The mountain won't even know it. This enigmatic world don't need this album. Under these circumstances Demirhan Baylan had couple ways to go. First, he could've tried to make the music people already like, secondly, tried to find some social/political/commercial group to support him. Third and worst of all could've been doing the first two without noticing and being a "star". All of them would yield questions one cannot answer. For he wouldn't have been able to find any solutions for his unhappiness he would've tried other stupidities just get even with himself. The mouse is now trying to look out of the maze and hoping to own the "meaning for making music" back.


CONCLUSION;

 

Until the executioner ruins everything, the artist will be content that his music is in the hands of people who "listen" and he will continue believing that making music has a good reason. Because the artist will never know how many people the album has reached, he has every right to dream anything. The listeners also have the same opportunity. You may guess some of them. You might not have seen this work, didn't understand it, didn't care, hated it or liked it a lot. These are the possibilities... If the album hasn't reached you... don't worry. That means you wouldn't like it anyway. If it reaches you... don't let the mountain know.
