From SUNDIAL by Murat Ses (2013)

Sundial incorporates a myriad of cross-cultural elements and all these not only limited to Anatolia. Native-American, Central Asian shaman sounds combined with zurna sounds and melodic organ solos (with an Anatolian touch for sure).
“…..from the very simple idea that the time-measuring function of sundial depends on the sun and the gnomon. The positioning of this combined system makes it possible to read the time as the sun moves across the sky. Always one truth as long as all elements in the system are in their right positions. You may regard those elements as place holders in any functioning system such as cultures and beliefs. The humanity is the source of all as the sun here is. We are the common denominators even if we would not admit…”
