01 Electroacoustic A Mechanics of Almost IV Aerolith An air-column instrument beside a resonating metal surface: bass-clarinet breath and multiphonics exchanged with a bowed cymbal's slowly transforming partials.

02 Electroacoustic A Mechanics of Almost II Afterglare The zurna's penetrating upper spectrum treated as a physical condition: sustained tones extended, upper partials exposed and separated until the instrument's apparent singularity fragments.

03 Electroacoustic A Mechanics of Almost I Anaculaton Timpani reduced to impact → membrane → resonance → decay, then interfered with: attacks activate virtual resonating bodies beyond the instrument's scale, alongside wind, tunnels, machinery and distant environmental resonance.

Featured Works

04 AI Strata II STRATA II Twelve channels of Istanbul field recordings eroded in real time by three neural models, none of which has ever heard the city. What survives each pass is not the city but what a machine could still carry of it.

05 Electroacoustic an arche One cello, three performers, none of them sovereign over it. Bow pressure and contact — not pitch — are the ground, analysed live by FluCoMa and diffused into a quadraphonic ring in which no fixed origin can be located.

06 AI A Room For The Belated Sentences Written for TAK Ensemble at the KEAR Electroacoustic Residency: an ensemble playing alongside a corpus of its own pre-recorded material, navigated live by SoMax 2 and FluCoMa.

07 Electroacoustic Strata I STRATA A single cut through the ground of Istanbul: every historical layer sounds from the first second, separated only by height. Tuned to a pitch set measured from the call to prayer in Hagia Sophia — which is never heard.

08 Electroacoustic Arundo_Trachea The oboe stripped of all melodic function and reduced to its physical reality: a vibrating double reed and a hollow wooden tube, heard from inside the bore.

09 Electronic P(re)cise Raw data streams, pure sine waves and algorithmic micro-rhythms at the threshold between sterile digital perfection and the fragility of zero-error states.

10 Acoustic Animal For orchestra, performed by the Toledo Symphony Orchestra at Kobacker Hall.

11 AI eye | outside | eye A corpus built from Işıl Kök Kohl's double-bass and voice recordings, navigated live by SoMax 2 against the performers in the room.
