How does he reconcile music and vocalization?
Turkish music is not just the juxtaposition of notes; it is a memory carried from the past to the present, the emotional atlas of a civilization. Each makam corresponds to a human condition; hicaz carries the pain of separation, nihavent the secret ecstasy of love. The art of vocalization is like the brother of this music. An artist doesn't just read the penned lines; he or she processes the words like a melody, and evokes vibrations in the heart with his or her accents.
A voice sometimes recalls the sigh of a ghazal; sometimes it turns into the subtle refrain of a song. While vocalization reveals the invisible melody of writing, Turkish art music carries the spirit of centuries to the present. When these two arts come together, words turn into music and music turns into words. Thus, the listener not only hears, but also feels, lives and remembers.
Cengizhan Sönmez's artistic journey finds meaning exactly here: Like a bridge that carries both the subtleties of Turkish music and the depth of the art of vocalization... With his voice, a song and a sentence tell the same truth: Art is the most elegant way to touch the human soul.
Turkish music is a branch of art that penetrates the deepest corners of the human soul. Each makam, each lyrics bears the traces of a period and a heart. Therefore, listening to Turkish music is not just listening to a melody, but crossing an invisible bridge between the past and the present. The art of vocalization is a similar journey; it is not just reading a written text, but delivering the meaning, emotion and vibration behind the words to the listener.
A voice can herald joy with the right intonation; it can express a deep longing with a sad emphasis. Just as Turkish art music shapes emotions with maqams, vocalization transforms words into melodic works. This unity creates a unique artistic integrity where words turn into music and music comes to life again with words.
Cengizhan Sönmez's art has this integrity: The exquisite subtleties of Turkish music, combined with the magical expression of the art of vocalization, transform into a lasting and unforgettable effect.
