Liner Notes:

An enormous thank you goes out to Jon Sarkin and his manager Mark, who worked with us on the album cover and the visual accompaniment. Jon’s generosity and willingness to share his work with us speaks volumes for his artistry and for him as a person.

Cömert Danail Deyanov Angelov (aka Jomy), our big brother whose beautiful London studio we recorded the tracks “Shiny”, “Speed” & “Medley” in… This album would not have come to life unless you were in our lives. Your support/respect for our music and artistic vision is always so motivating and something we appreciate more than you know. Lots of love brother!

Ural Turan, who was the assistant engineer to Saygın during the recordings of “SMA-AB” & “(see title)”, was also the biggest advocate of this album to come out as soon as possible. Your excitement and approach towards the tracks, not as an engineer but a lover of sounds and possibilities always did and always will mean the world, and what pushes us to create more. We have no doubt on how far you will come in the very near future as a musician, engineer and person. We love you sir…

To Randy Esen, the one who brought us together and made the trip to Istanbul possible in the first place; thank you for making a space for so much music happen in just that one week, and with such a vibrant, collaborative energy. We worked very hard on Randy’s music that week, recording day in and day out, and this music will be available soon as well! Without the love and support from Randy and Aydın, we couldn’t have made this music.
