Imagine a modern Anatolia, a fusion of ancient traditions and cutting-edge innovation.

This exploration is part of Rove Monteux’s solo career in Classical, Cinematic, Drama, Neoclassical, Neobaroque, and Electronic music.

The skyline of cities like Istanbul, Ankara, and Izmir would be a breathtaking blend of the old and the new. You'd find eco-friendly, smart buildings with self-cleaning surfaces and energy-efficient designs, standing alongside beautifully preserved Ottoman and Byzantine structures. These modern buildings would not only be marvels of sustainable engineering but also incorporate traditional Anatolian motifs in their design, creating a unique aesthetic that honours the past while embracing the future.

In this modern Anatolia, the rich tapestry of cultures that have called the region home – Turkish, Kurdish, Armenian, Greek, and many others – would be celebrated in a vibrant, inclusive society. Music, art, and literature would reflect this diversity, with traditional elements blending into new, avant-garde forms. Festivals showcasing this cultural melange would draw visitors from all over the world.

Let's paint this modern Anatolia not as a mere geographic entity, but as a living, breathing canvas of cultural metamorphosis. The region, ever a crucible of civilisations, now finds itself at an intriguing crossroads of technology and tradition. Picture Istanbul, the heart of this land, pulsating with a rhythm that is both ancient and avant-garde. Its skyline, a juxtaposition of minarets and skyscrapers, reflects a society grappling with the dualities of identity - secular versus religious, Western versus Eastern.
