Towards the uncertain future with various highlighted fragments
Early Days
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
“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.
Writing Our Tunes
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
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”
Rehearsals, Covers and New Tunes
The regular studio rehearsal process made it possible to try new songs and some favourite covers…
Unforgettable Concerts
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…
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.
Final Steps Before The Demo Album
We are trying to complete the order of the songs in our demo album. Different studios, different experiences…
A More Serious Concentration
Studio works done at long nights, sometimes with our friends, drinking and dreaming together… Final preparations for our upcoming first demo album.
“Forgotten Notebooks” Out Now!
Now we are very happy cause our first demo album is finally released!! This was a little but an important step for us.
Lithuanian Girl
Lithuanian Girl became our most watched video on our Youtube Channel with 1.800 views.
“Another Time” Demo Sessions
Our preps for the second demo album, “Another Time” started…
A Tribute to Tom Petty
We continue rehearsals for “Another Time”. New places, major changes in personal lives and an effort to understand what is really going on… By the way we covered Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers songs “Walls (Circus)” and “Face in the Crowd”
“Another Time” Out Now!
“Another Time”, second piece of our demo album series has been released in digital format. “Another Time” consists 4 songs written between 2017 and 2019. You can listen to it on our Spotify, Apple Music, BandCamp and SoundCloud accounts. Hope you enjoy it…
Pandemic, Unfinished Works and New Tunes
While all the negative effects of the coronavirus pandemic and other issues, we wrote a brand new tune for our next chapter. Here comes: Off The Lanterns
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.
Forgotten Notebooks on Spotify & Apple Music
Our first demo album, which we recorded in summer 2017, is now on Spotify & Apple Music
On The Road Again…
Founded in 1969, the Soviet progressive rock band Tsvety (Цветы) or Stas Namin Group “started all Russian alternative culture” according to Itogi magazine. Watching the anniversary concert of this important group at the Union of Composers (89.1 RadioJazz) allowed us to reach out for emotional moments and new melodies…
