Tan loves to program sounds and dive into the infinite possibilities of electronic music and synth programming.
His first album was the 2015 released "Anatolian Echoes" which is a sort of diary about a trip throughout Anatolia; the ancient region where myriads of different cultures flourished and intermixed creating a plethora of cultural diversity over the millenia leaving their footprints in the traditional music.
Tan tries to express his cultural heritage with music but also as a painter and photographer. He believes that art has different ways to be expressed and there should be no difference between the various forms of expression.
Songs from his album "Anatolian Echoes" have been on rotation on the famous radio channel "SomaFM"
