Your latest track is 'Color Of Time'. Can you share with us the background of its creation and did any unusual things happen during its creation?
It took almost 5 or 6 years to finish this song. We made lots of changes on instruments and vocal melodies. It’s about pure happiness, and we wanted our listeners could get this feeling too.

Emre and Onur work together on music&lyrics in this process. Firstly they choose a theme and create stories about it. And then they create rhythms and record them with instruments.
