The companies call for emission reduction targets to be guided by science and offer support for the emerging consensus to limit global average temperature rise to less than 2 degrees Celsius compared to pre-industrial levels. In turn, they recognise that this will require global emissions to peak and begin to decline rapidly within the next decade and reduce by 50-85% by 2050.
The business leaders urge developed countries to take on “immediate and deep emission reduction commitments” and “demonstrate that low-carbon growth is both achievable and desirable” and provide the necessary financial and technological assistance to developing countries. They call on developing countries to draw up their own emission reduction plans, and call on advanced developing countries to adopt economy-wide commitments by 2020.

Şirketler, sera gazı salınım düşürme hedeflerine bilimin öncülük etmesi için çağrıda bulunarak endüstri öncesi seviyelerle karşılaştırıldığında ortalama küresel ısı artışını 2 derece selsiusdan az bir değerle sınırlama hedefini destekleyen yeni mutabakatı destekliyorlar. Buna karşılık, bu hedefin küresel salınımları azami seviyeye çıkararak gelecek on yıl içersinde hızla inmesi gerektiği anlamına geldiğini ve 2050’ye kadar %50-85 arası bir düşüş gerektireceğini kabul ediyorlar.
İş dünyasının önde gelenleri, gelişmiş ülkelerin “sera gazı salınım düşürme taahhütlerini en kısa zamanda ve köklü bir şekilde yerine getirmeleri” ve “düşük karbonlu gelişimin hem başarılabilir, hem de cazip bir amaç olduğunu göstermeleri” ve gelişmekte olan ülkelere gerekli finansal ve teknolojik yardımı sağlamaya teşvik etmektedirler. Ayrıca, gelişmekte olan ülkelerin kendi salınım düşürme planlarını hazırlamaları ve daha gelişmiş ülkelerin ekonomi çapında taahhütlerini 2020’ye kadar kabul etmeleri çağrısında bulunuyorlar.

Musique, lumières et images
En 1985, lorsque j'ai commencé à travailler pour l'Ecole de Cirque de Bruxelles, je me suis retrouvé presque par hasard à écrire et jouer toutes les musiques des spectacles de fin d'année. Depuis, mon engouement pour la musique de scène ou liée à l'image n'a cessé de croître. J'ai bien eu des expériences de groupes musicaux mais il me manquait toujours le complément visuel ainsi que la confrontation à d'autres techniques d'expression. Je compose et réalise des bandes son aujourd'hui essentiellement pour des pièces de théâtre, ballets ou films. La musique peut colorer de différentes manières l'image ainsi que l'inverse. J'aime beaucoup travailler "avec" l'image pour souligner son contenu ou "contre" pour lui faire dire autre chose et ainsi développer une profondeur et un second degré de lecture. Je compose souvent en parallèle de la création du spectacle. Je m'inspire bien sûr du scénario pour les intentions générales mais en assistant aux répétitions les apports musicaux peuvent influer sur l'orientation du travail. L'interprète se recale finalement sur la musique dont il à lui-même suivi l'évolution.
Je ne pense pas qu'il existe de méthodes miracles pour composer pour le spectacle. Il faut se préoccuper avant tout de respecter l'équilibre entre le propos, l'émotion, l'image et la musique. Si l'un de ces éléments venait à prendre le dessus, l'équilibre de l’œuvre dans son ensemble serait rompu. Certaines oeuvres plus que d'autres m'ont influencé et s'il devait exister une méthode, ce serait de les écouter et les réécouter: les films d' Emir Kusturica et les musiques de Goran Bregovic (Le Temps des Gitans, Underground), les films de Federico Fellini et les musiques de Nino Rota, les films de Werner Herzog et les musiques de Popol Vuh (Fitzcaraldo, Aguirre), les films d'Eisenstein et les musiques de Serge Prokofiev (Alexandre Nevsky, Ivan le Terrible), Pierre et le Loup de Serge Prokofiev, Passion de Peter Gabriel, West Side Story de Léonard Bernstein, Zorba de Mikis Theodorakis, Ascenceur pour Echafaud de Miles Davis. Je travaille égalemment avec de jeunes groupes musicaux sur l'interprétation de leurs morceaux et sur la mise en scène de leurs concerts, toujours dans l'esprit de renforcer l'émotion d'une musique par l'image, les éclairages ou la présence scénique des artistes. J'assimile beaucoup la notion de concert à celle de spectacle.
Univers musical
J'attache beaucoup d'importance au son, aux silences et aux tensions dans une musique. Je privilégie les brassages de textures sonores en mélangeant des instruments acoustiques et des percussions modernes, en utilisant la chaleur de certaines musiques folkloriques et la rugosité rythmique et sonore d'autres musiques plus occidentales, en ajoutant des bruitages à des mélodies, en travaillant dans l'idée du paysage sonore et du cadre blanc pour exprimer un fond noir.( ex .Afrocelts, Michaël Brook et Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Björk...d'autres liens dans la partie musical links)
Il m'est difficile de résumer mes influences musicales en quelques lignes. De manière générale, la musique classique et folklorique traditionnelle constituent l'univers musical dans lequel j'ai étudié; bien d'autres influences se sont greffées sur cette base. Néanmoins il existe trois pôles qui symbolisent l'évolution musicale dans laquelle je tente de m'inscrire. […]

Music, lights and images
In 1985, when I began to work for the Circus School of Brussels, it could be said that it was through sheer coincidence that I composed and played all the music for all end of year performances. Since then, my passion for performance music or music linked to imagery has only increased. I have worked with music groups but I always felt that the visual complement and the interaction with other techniques of expression were missing. Today, I compose and produce soundtracks essentially for the theatre, ballet and movies.
Music can influence image as much as images influence music. I can choose to work with images to underline their content, or else I can choose to oppose them and make them express something else and thus develop deepness and subtext. I often compose in parallel with the creation of a performance. I am naturally inspired by the scenario for the general feeling of what I compose, but often my musical contribution influences the orientation of the performance as well.
I don't believe in miracle methods to compose for performances. The most important is to respect the balance between meaning, emotion, image and music. If any one of these elements overrides the others, the balance of the work in its whole will be broken. Some works have influenced me more than others. If there has to be a method, I would say that it would be to listen to the music that has influenced me more than others, again and again: Emir Kusterica's movies accompanied by Goran Bregovic's music (The Time of the Gypsies, Underground), Federico Fellini's movies with Nino Rota's music, Werner Herzog's movies and Popol Vuh's music (Fitzcaraldo, Aguirre), the movies by Eisenstein accompanied by Serge Prokofiev's music (Alexander Nevsky, Ivan the Terrible), Serge Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf, Peter Gabriel's Passion, Leonard Bernstein's West Side Story, Mikis Theodorakis' Zorba, Miles Davis' Elevator to the Gallows…
I also work with young musical groups on the interpretation of their songs and on the mise-en-scene of their concerts. This is always done with the purpose of strengthening musical emotion through the use of imagery, lighting or the presence of artists.
Musical Universe
Sound, silence, and tension within a musical piece are very important. I favor the blending of musical textures through the mixture of acoustical instruments and modern percussions, by using the warmth of certain folkloric music, the rythmic and sonorous asperity of other, more western music, by adding sound effects to melodies, by working within the idea of a landscape of sound and the white frame to express a black canvas (for ex., Afrocelts, Michaël Brook and Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Björk… other examples can be found in musical links)
It is difficult to summarize my musical influences in a few lines. Generally speaking, classical and traditional folkloric music form the musical universe in which I have studied, and other influences attached themselves to this basis. However, three standards symbolise the musical evolution in which I try to place myself […]

Soieries à dominante de fils métalliques, les seraser furent produits à Istanbul à partir du milieu du XVIe siècle. Des fils de soie colorée (corail, bleu-gris ou pistache) pouvaient servir pour les contours des motifs. Les fils métalliques couvrent de larges surfaces et sont doublés par le passage de fils de soie ivoire ou jaune qui accentuent leur reflet. Comme les lampas et les velours brochés, ils étaient tissés sur des métiers à la tire manipulés conjointement par un tisserand et un tireur. Le tireur levait une certaine combinaison de fils, répétée autant de fois que le motif sur le lé de tissu. Le tisserand passait les fils de trame entre les fils de chaînes soulevés par le tireur. La structure complexe de ces textiles appartient à la catégorie dite taqueté (cf. schéma). | Translation - Turkish
Seraser, klaptanın baskın olarak kullanıldığı, İstanbul’da XVI. yüzyılın ortasından itibaren üretilmeye başlanan bir kumaş çeşididir. Motiflerinin kenarları renkli (mercan, mavi-gri ya da fistik yeşili) ipekten işlenirdi. Geniş bir yüzey, madeni tellerle (klaptan) kaplanır ve tellerin parlaklığını vurgulayan fildişi ya da sarı ipekle astarlanırdı. Kemha ve çatma gibi, seraser de çekmeli tezgahta dokunur, ancak bu tezgah hem bir dokumacı, hem de bir çırak tarafından işletilirdi. Çırak, kumaş eninde olduğu kadar motifte de tekrarlanan belirli bir iplik karışımını çeker, dokumacı ise çırağın çektiği çözgü ipliklerin arasından atkı ipliklerini geçirirdi. Bu kumaşların karışık yapısı, taqueté denilen dokuma türüne aittir (bkz. şema). | English to Turkish: Research in Socio-economic Sciences and Humanities

My English is at native-speaker level, as this is the language I learnt first, when I was four. I have never stopped speaking, writing and reading in English. I attended an American university and worked for a British Member of the European Parliament. I have passed the Cambridge Proficiency in English Exam with "Exceptional" results.
I learnt French at the age of eleven, when I moved to Belgium and attended a Belgian school. I have lived in Belgium for a total of 17 years now and my French is fluent.
I have had to interpret for my friends, family and (later!) colleagues since I was small and I have been translating texts since high school. All of my jobs have involved translation and interpretation between my three languages.
My main experience is in European affairs (especially external relations, enlargement, development, security and defence, human rights, women's rights, energy and the environment) and international politics.
I have been working as a journalist (Milliyet and Turkish Radio Television), as a political advisor (to a British MEP), and as a liaison agent (Turkish Embassy - European Parliament).
I am known for working fast and respecting deadlines. I am always careful to make sure I have understood and that I respect the primary meaning of the author -- which may seem obvious, but is not always the case! |
