The music journey started at the beginning of the pandemic. In this process, İlk Zamanlar created journeys between genres, passing through various characters and moods, often by improvising and lightly editing, or creating specific conceptual structures from time to time. The production style is minimal; Epifani; lead vocalist, songwriter and storyteller, and Dulger is a sound designer and producer. They both involve various phases of arrange, production and whole creation. Childhood memories, daily life, the right to have fun, inner conflicts and monologues, the passage of time, can be what they tell. Their works, mostly spread from the field of music to the fields of sound, story and performance. They use an experimental approach at creating phases, being in thresholds when it comes to styles, zones which are identified in strict ways. This various views of tracks and voyager approach is coming from the scenes of globalism, internet culture, lack of belonging, as a voice of generation.
