Turkish-American Hour Episode 41

Turkish American Hour Interviews Scientist and Artist Prof. Bülent Atalay,
The Author Of Math and the Mona Lisa

TATV visited Bülent Atalay at his home and interviewed him about his early childhood and his passions for mathematics, science, and the arts. For the last 38 years he has spent much of his professional career at Mary Washington College, working with esoteric theories and ideas that fly above the head of most mortals.

Prof. Atalay is the author of Math and the Mona Lisa: The Art and Science of Leonardo da Vinci. The book, now in its fifth printing, was published in the spring of 2004 by Smithsonian Books. It had strong sales and received many favorable reviews. It has been translated into 12 languages. Math and the Mona Lisa grew from his many notable accomplishments and interests, as well as from his teaching experience.

"Art and Science have two different ways of describing nature. In science, you must be objective and base it on primary principles; in art you describe nature much more subjectively. In Leonardo, you have the combination: He is a consummate scientist and a part time artist. He couldn’t separate science and art. It was the science that he was after" says Atalay.

Prof. Atalay has co-authored a new book with Keith Wamsley, entitled Leonardo's Universe: the Renaissance World of Leonardo da Vinci. National Geographic Books will release the book on January 6, 2009.

We are very proud to announce the interview with Professor Bülent Atalay. You can watch this enlightening episode of Turkish-American Hour on Ch. 10 in Fairfax, VA on Monday, Sept. 29 at 8:30p and Tuesday, Sept. 30 at 6:30p on a special arrangement with Fairfax Public Access (FPA).

Charlie Barnett and Osman Kivrak

Turkish-American Hour interviewed Charlie Barnett and Osman Kivrak, two talented musicians from Maryland.

Charlie Barnett is prolific composer who wrote over hundred film scores, mostly documentary. He describes the greater Washington area as “Docuwood”, a home to one of America’s most important centers for documentary film. The program presents a fine sample of his music from the awards winning film “Paper Clips” directed by Elliot Berlin.

Osman Kivrak who is highly acclaimed Turkish-American Violist and Composer, plays viola in Charlie’s new work “From Istanbul”. Charlie Barnett tells that he has never been to Turkey nor he knows much about the Turkish Culture, but he looked at the wonderful motifs of Usak, Kula and Kocak carpets and tried to “catch a sound unique to Turkey” as an American tourist. Barnett stresses that he prefers to keep his music organic, apart from digital sounds and use real instruments instead.

Kivrak stresses the importance of Barnett’s composing music for viola with his “From Istanbul.” Kivrak said “there is not much music composed for viola and that’s why Barnett’s work deserves extra credit for not only Turkish music but also for the world music as well.” In the program Osman Kivrak plays “Daldalan”, which is an adaptation of a Turkish Folk song, with his violinist wife Teri Lazar for the TATV viewers
