Tamer Sağcan Invites Listeners Into a Meditative Soundscape on New Album Home: Universes

Tamer Sağcan is a Turkish composer, classical guitarist, and author based in Ankara. Earlier this year, he delivered Home: Roots, a debut four-track EP that caught the attention of many. Now, while I highly suggest you give it a listen, today I'd like to focus on its follow-up, Home: Universes. Thirteen compositions that showcase Sağcan’s ability to effortlessly merge multiple styles, it's a masterfully put-together record that gets better and better with each listen.

Enterstellar gets proceedings underway, guided by Tamer's (initially) gentle, flamenco-inspired acoustic guitar. It's a bold piece of music, and it sets the scene beautifully for the sonic journey listeners are about to go on.

Eridanus then steps up and provides a similarly entrancing and intimate mood, before it quietly changes gears and heads down a more dramatic, cinematic road.

Novus Astra is an almost meditative experience, and is pure bliss from start to finish, while its successor, the short and sweet Gravity, delivers a moment of warmth and calm that is just so comforting.

Usually at this stage, I'd give a shout-out to a few more songs on the album. That won't be happening today. Home: Universes must be absorbed in its entirety - of that I'm certain. It's music for those who seek order within chaos and meaning within the void, and it's a record I've grown deeply attached to.
