Özet:

This article is an attempt to understand Ergüder Yoldaş’s ideas and music on the axis of Dellaloğlu’s modernization and modernity discussions. While the modernization embraces the transfer of the elements of the modern, it may contain the denial of the traditional. Modernity, on the other hand, can be roughly defined as calling and reinterpreting the traditional while constructing the present and the new. When we look at music from the perspective of modernity experience, we can see the process of integrating traditional music with contemporary musical accumulation. Ergüder Yoldaş who approaches Turkish Music from a modernist line by going beyond the modernization perspective is an avant-garde figure who success integrated Turkish Art Music and Turkish Folk Music with Western Classic Music and Western Rock-Pop Music. Because of his curiosity about traditional music and literature, while Yoldaş is accused of "not being modern" by the modernizing elite; "traditionalists", on the other hand, don't prefer to see his Westerner-Modernist aspect. In this sense, Yoldaş shares the same fate with Ahmet Hamdi Tanpınar who is one of the essential names in Turkish Literature. Within the scope of the purpose of the article, Yoldaş's thought was discussed by looking at the interviews made with Yoldaş, his music albums, interviews with his relatives, and texts written on Yoldaş, and the literature on Turkish modernization.
