Kilicer explains:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;Unable to contain the everlasting resource of melody and riff inside of me, I couldn&#8217;t just enjoy listening to and covering music. Therefore I decided composing my own in 2005. My main interest has always been a blend of progressive rock and symphony; both of which require special attention on emotions, balance and clarity.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Kivanc started his own home studio in 2010, having had experience on VSTs and DAWs. This took him to a whole new level of creation, and meant that he could work through the entire music process, from writing the lyrics, recording the instruments, singing the vocals, and completing the mixing.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;It was another level for me where I finally created my first solo tracks at an international scale. A brand new experience, a brand new world.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Kivanc&#8217;s new song, &#8216;Devil&#8217;s Thought&#8217;, accompanied by a mini-movie of a music video, is from his new EP, &#8216;Dew On\u00a0Roses&#8217;. Kivanc feels he&#8217;s finally found the sound he&#8217;s been looking for all his musical life: a blend of progressive rock and symphonic arrangements. The video tells the horrifying tale of a young woman being pursued by the devil she&#8217;s brought upon herself. she hides in her house, until it is burned down; she tries to escape by car &#8211; this too proves hopeless. Eventually, she is forced to confront her attacker, while Kivanc is pictured playing loud and hard among\u00a0the flames.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8216;Devil&#8217;s Thought&#8217; is available to stream on <a href=\"http:\/\/open.spotify.com\/user\/11149762895\/playlist\/1P0tQhGKp8cgW825t3HB8G\" target=\"_blank\">Spotify<\/a>, and download from <a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/album\/dew-on-roses-single\/id920470645\" target=\"_blank\">iTunes<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00NO2U1EQ?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=213733&amp;creative=393177&amp;creativeASIN=B00NO2U1EQ&amp;linkCode=shr&amp;tag=pauplathemuss-20&amp;linkId=ZERIXZBE7HZ22FCG&amp;child=B00MU9580G&amp;qid=1409319753&amp;sr=1-1%3C\/a%3E\" target=\"_blank\">Amazon<\/a>.
