Whether it is rearranging traditional Turkish folk songs or improvising on themes of Benjamin Britten, performances on the streets and in venues outside the opera house have comprised an integral aspect of her artistic output.

Deniz sang from her childhood on regularly in synagogues and Jewish events, therefore she also performed several sephardic songs coming from the 15th century. Partos Trocatos is one of the songs she used to perform as a child within the song cycle for voice and guitar "Siete Canciones Sefardies" arranged by Pedro Elias. Her new rearrangement with Alexander and Marat of this particular song gives an ambient touch to the mid age structure.
