From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I'm a resident of Istanbul, Turkey, though I lived most of my life in California. I'm working on my PhD dissertation in ethnomusicology as a student of the University of California, Berkeley, which is about recording studios in Istanbul. On the side, I perform, record, and teach the Anatolian instrument known as the oud.
My research specialties include Ottoman classical music, Turkish folk music, popular and ethnic music styles, Turkish folk music instruments, recording studios, and the crossover between the avant garde musique concrète and electronica aesthetics. You can find some writing of mine, as well as information on my work as a musician and recording engineer, on my website.
