At just 17 years old, musical prodigy and modern classical composer Çınar İnal steps into the spotlight with his debut album, Taming Black. This album is not just a musical journey—it’s a rebellion. In a world of emotional turbulence, Çınar illuminates inner darkness through cinematic piano and orchestral arrangements. This project aims to descend into the deepest, darkest corners of life, expressing emotions through music without confining them to words.
‘Taming Black’ – A Story That Leaks Through Our Eyes
The album rises like a scream. Taming Black tells of lost hopes, fear in the face of an uncertain future, and the search for identity—yet it goes beyond all of that. Çınar doesn’t speak with words, he speaks with melodies. Each track shapes a feeling with sound, captures a memory, and translates it directly into notes. Taming Black is a musical dance of emotions that can’t be expressed in words.
Standout Tracks:
Sonsuz / Eternal: The trauma of an earthquake that devoured half a country… Erased memories become immortal within us. There’s an eternal void, a sense of loss. This piece deeply processes all those marks left behind.
İlk Sürgün / The First Exile: Childhood—that happy paradise we all must leave behind. The fear of growing up, facing reality. This song feels like the story of our first exile. A parallel loss, just like Adam and Eve’s expulsion from Eden.
Noema: A mind and body that abandon reality without ever entering a war… A mental escape, an emotional dystopia. Here, Çınar merges Edmund Husserl’s phenomenology with music. And within all this chaos, the name Noema finds its place.
The Rise of a Voice: Çınar İnal’s Journey
Despite his young age, Çınar İnal brings a fresh breath to music with Taming Black. This album is a bold outcry, a channeling of a young person’s inner storms into sound. Music here is not just a narrative but also a discovery. A rise of a voice that is both deep and intense. Taming Black is the moment when an artist announces his existence and finds his identity through music.
A Glimpse Into The Artist’s Heart: Çınar’s Personal Note
The process of creating the album was not only a musical but also an emotional journey for Çınar. In his own words:
“I started working on this album about two years ago, and these two years have been a very special experience for me. Whenever I struggled with intense emotions or had thoughts crowding my mind, this album became a place of refuge. I’m truly proud to have turned my feelings and experiences into something tangible on my own—and to carry this album with me for the rest of my life. I hope it brings positive feelings to everyone who listens. ❤️”
This heartfelt message reminds us once again that Taming Black is not just an album, but the voice of a soul finding its way through music.
The Future: A New Direction, A New Light
With this album, Çınar invites not only himself but also his listeners into a different world. Each track is an inner journey, a discovery. With Taming Black, he gently floats the listener through deep waters, while at the same time setting them free through his music. This is more than an album—it’s a spiritual journey, a quest.
