1. Silent Greeting
• Greeting with a bow without speaking preserves the depth of the music and the moment. It conveys the message, “the music has spoken,” and offers a graceful way to thank the audience without breaking the spirit of the performance.
• Stepping back without turning around: Not turning your back to the audience is also considered a gesture of respect in both Eastern and Western stage traditions.

2. Tradition and Ethics
• In classical orchestras, chamber music, and many performing arts, I have witnessed such forms of greeting. On these stages, the artist remains on stage until the applause ends and then slowly steps back—this is a true ritual.

3. Personal Artistic Stance
• Thanking the audience through body language rather than words reflects the artist’s own style and character. To some, it comes across as minimalist, elegant, and self-assured; to others, as an extension of a performance infused with mystical silence.

Note: At times, this stage habit of mine may be interpreted in different ways. Yet my only intention is to preserve the spirit of the music and to show my deepest respect to the audience. Greeting in silence and leaving the stage without turning my back is an expression of my deep respect for the listeners; it carries no other meaning. If I have unintentionally caused any misunderstandings, I sincerely apologise.

1. Sessizlikle Selam
• Konuşmadan başla selamı, sahnedeki müziğin ve anın derinligini korur.
Bu, “söz artık müziğindi” mesajını verir ve performansın ruhunu bozmadan izleyiciye teşekkür etmenin zarif bir yoludur.
• Geri geri çekilmek: izleyiciye Sırtını dönmemek Doğu ve Batı sahne geleneklerinde de “dinleyiciye sırtını dönmemek” bir saygı jesti olarak bilirim.

2. Gelenek ve Etik
• Klasik orkestralarda, oda müziğinde ve birçok sahne sanatında bu tür bir selamlamalara tanık oldum ve sahnelerinde sanatçının alkışlar bitene kadar sahnede kalıp, sonra yavaşça geri çekilmesi bir ritüel gibidir.

3. Kişisel Sanatsal Duruş
• Sanatçının sahnede fazla söz söylemeden, beden diliyle teşekkür etmesi kendi tarzını ve karakterini yansıtır. Bu, kimi izleyiciye minimalist, zarif ve kendinden emin bir tavır olarak, kimine ise mistik bir sessizlikle bütünleşmiş bir performansın uzantısı olarak yansır.

Not: Kimi zaman bu sahne alışkanlığım farklı şekillerde yorumlanabiliyor. Oysa niyetim sadece müziğin ruhunu korumak ve dinleyicime en içtenliği göstermek. Konserlerimde konuşmadan selamlamak ve sahneden ayrılırken sırtımı dönmemek, dinleyiciye duyduğum derin içtenliğimin ifadesidir; başka bir anlam taşımamaktadır. Yanlış anlaşılmalara istemeden sebep olduysam özür dilerim.
