“Virtuoso guitarist on his double neck (fretless) instrument with outstanding improvisations" “Sahin is a perfectionist. As a composer he works out every detail." Jur Naessens Music Award 2002
“Timucin Sahin's unique compositional approach, keen sense of improvisation and his interplay of music style from jazz, contemporary and non- western music intrigued me." Mike Maineri
“I wish to say that I think Timucin Sahin an original composer of a variety of music which is difficult to categorize. His music is drawn from a wide body of knowledge and experience, often developed from his considerable skills as a guitarist. In his solo performances as well as with other musicians, he sometimes employs improvisation but in ways hard to separate from the sound of his notated music. This I find noteworthy. His music is characterized by a delicacy of instrumental imagination and rhythmic structures which have much flexibility though clearly pulse derived."
