Born in Istanbul, Berk Icli recorded his album in NYC, which had been his home for the past several years. Studying Classical and Jazz composition at The New School's Mannes Conservatory allowed him to practise unconventional ways of obtaining sounds from various instruments, to produce a timbre widely unbeknown to their true nature.The album was recorded, produced and mixed in Berk Icli's apartment over a year. Glimpses of an Eternal Bloom opens with a dramatic scenery enhanced with spiritual chants. Throughout the album, Icli incorporates simple yet emotive piano-led pieces in tracks such as "Lullaby for Laika", "Unsan Musho", "Postlude" and "Ils sont devenus Intemporels". Varying musical tones are set with the use of synths, bass-heavy soundscapes, a powerful brass section in the track "Blossoms".Berk Icli incorporates real-life field recordings from his neighbourhood, voices of his friends and the children from the elementary school he worked at. Glimpses of an Eternal Bloom is accompanied by an 18-minute short film featuring music from the album. Created by Berk Icli and Ömer Deniz, and directed by Ömer Deniz the film serves as an audiovisual experiment to the album, blending music, movement, poetry and captivating visual direction. The film will be out together with the album, on October 15.
