Sabutay Uğur on SoundBetter

Hi, I am Sabutay. I compose and arrange pop, rock, jazz, classical, electronic genres. I have worked with Memphis, Berklee and Harvard graduated academics at Turkey. I can support you as composer and arranger in your music projects. You can also review my works on my personal website or my bandcamp address. Have a nice day.

I started the department of physics at Eskişehir Osmangazi University in 2007. At the same time I started the musical education when I studied the classical guitar with Sezgin Atila in this university’s course center. Then, I took private lessons from Dr. Stefan Pohlit on theory, Anadolu University School of Music and Drama academic members Prof. Oytun Eren on eartraining, dictate and piano, and Assoc. Dr. Berkant Gençkal on harmony. I followed the counterpoint and harmony lessons of Assoc. Prof. Dr. Tolga Zafer Özdemir as a guest student in İstanbul Bilgi University and I studied on composition with him. I followed the seminar of composition department at Bilkent University and I participated the composition workshop. Addition this, I studied with composers Tolga Yayalar and Onur Türkmen in workshop. During my education in the physics department, I have been interested in music of Iannis Xenakis. I started to write compositions with intuitive-mathematical algorithms and techniques using mathematics and physics relations, equations and formulas. Theoretic part of these compositions are supported with mathematics and physics equations which are created specially by myself and intuitive part is usually supported with the psychological concepts. I usually make my contemporary works on microtonal theories.
