Dear Friends, In 2019, with my dear friend Mehmet Emin Halitligil, we have recorded the music I played on that beautiful Yamaha of the Asil Art Academy… This album, Breath is born out of those recordings. Breath album is comprised of my improvisations and compositions. The melodies that surfaced themselves throughout the years out of my compositions, and especially out of the Candle Concert series’ improvisations, breathed their lives into this album. I would like to extend my gratitude and thanks to all of my friends who have been by my side at all stages of these recordings: to my producer Mehmet Emin Halitligil and Cem Önder who designed the album cover; to my one and only love and wife Didem who constantly encouraged and supported me; to the apples of my eyes, my beautiful daughters Öykü and Doğa; to Murat Asil, Çiğdem Asil, Serhat Ayhan, Savaş Dayı, Alp Rodoplu, Hakan Güvengiz, Kadir Yiğit Us, İrem Petek Balkanlı and Alev Örsel Karaca who contributed to this album with their valuable comments in its pre-release stage; and to my mother Burçin Asil, my father Eriş Asil and my uncle Mehmet Metin Altuğ… If even one of the above mentioned persons were not to exist, this album would not have been here, breathing and alive. And thus, here it is, for your delectation.

In The Words Of H.Umut Asil : That day, I thought of nothing.
Everything fell silent — only my hands spoke.
And in that moment, everything began, effortlessly.
Whenever a sound would rise from within me,
I searched for it first in the places my hands knew.
I touched the piano — and it touched me.
Together, we created a language: it was the song of the piano.
Everything inside me that couldn’t fit into words
slowly poured out through the keys.
The things I told myself — perhaps they were an inner monologue
that had grown quietly for years.
And now, that voice has become audible.
Life…
At times, it is so fragile,
you don’t need to understand it — only feel it.
Sometimes everything is vague and undefined,
and sometimes, all of a sudden, a feeling takes shape.
In the deepest hours of the night,
a melody wanders through the house
like a dream of my daughters.
As if still asleep, even while awake.
That fine line between reality and imagination.
And all these moments — they are just a matter of a moment.
Miss them, and they vanish.
Catch them, and they become eternal.
But some moments can’t be explained — they can only be lived.
Like that very first note.
Inside it, a meaning is hidden, a feeling: blessed.
This album is a journey that was never planned,
yet it says so much.
And those who turn inward,
might just hear their own voice in it.
