Our musical adventure that started in late 2012 and continues to this day
Towards the uncertain future with various highlighted fragments

Early Days

19/11/2012


Avenues is an alternative folk music project, formed in late 2012 by two minds with different musical searches and practices before who decided to understand and narrate the life with their stories and timbres…

Empty House

14/01/2013

Avenues Early Days
“Empty House” was the first song we wrote. While playing this song on Suadiye shoreline one day, some people came around us, listened to it and said they liked it much. Frankly, this was a minor breaking point for our journey.

“Now I just hear wind whispering silently, even you’re not there anymore…”Empty House

Writing Our Tunes

01/03/2013


Although we try to learn the songs of some of our favorite bands during this period, we started to write and sing our own stories. Mostly alone at nights, in parking lots… Songs like “I Do Worry”, “Last Share”, “Sourrounded”, “Battle Ways”, “Old Man’s Folly” are our own tunes from that era. Long nights, long words…

Contradictory Melodies

05/04/2013


The melodies we loved made us happy, but the same melodies were paradoxically sad.

When The Sunset Smiles
Musical and existential journey continues. The uncertainties brought by the road fed many melodies. We recorded “When The Sunset Smiles”

Neil Young
Music is not just a matter of performance. It is also a matter of thinking in music, a matter of culture. Watching the concerts of the artists we love has always been instructive for us. (Neil Young & Crazy Horse at Küçükçiftlik Park – Istanbul)

On The Road Again…

19/01/2015

Vladimir Marinovic
New cultures, new environments and the same favorite music… We listened to Vladimir Marinovic’s (On Tour & Ventolin) concert at the Casa Garcia Bar… We discovered the Yugoslavia’s alt-country music scene… Most enjoyable moments of our Belgrade trip.

The Way You Smile

Interprets/Covers are important as long as they do not make the model forget and provide accessibility to the model. Although no covers gives the essence of the model, without the copy the model is inaccessible. When the replicas are considered together, it provides the possibility of the model. The model is disclosed with these replicas. An attempt to interpret one and only Blaze Foley’s song from his “Sittin’ by the Road” album.
