Aged just 5,
Ayse found herself playing a guitar in a room filled with music;
a gaggle of children all playing different instruments in unison.
Two years later she undertook her first year of piano study
at the conservatory, where she liked chambermusic very much.
In 1983 she founded her first group Mozaik producing four
albums until they parted in 1995. The name "mozaik" represented
the fusion of rock, western classical music, jazz and also
traditional turkish sounds within their music. With the band
Kömür, Ayse was able to improvise and explore her talents
and later performed a collection of songs celebrating the
female form with the vocalist Sumru Agiryürüyen. Ayse has
also collaborated with well-known Turkish "marginal musicians"
on numerous studio productions, with the songwriter Bülent
Ortaçgil, the folkgroup Yeni Türkü, and the rockband Bulutsuzluk
Özlemi. In addition to this Ayse has also enjoyed composing
for celluloid and musical theatre productions and also performed
in Lawrence "Butch" Morris's Conducting Improvisation Orchestra
staged in 1999.
