I am a PhD candidate at UC Berkeley in ethnomusicology and am focusing on the work of arrangers, session musicians, and engineers in Istanbul's recording studios. My expertise includes not only music topics but anthropology, technology studies, and Turkish studies disciplines. I primarily work on issues surrounding sound recording technology, transformations to traditional musical practices in Turkey, and new genres of electro-acoustic musics. My MA thesis (Wesleyan University 1997) considered online communities and the consumption and production of ambient music. In addition to academic activities, I am a professional performer with the Turkish ud, a recording engineer, and composer of electro-acoustic music.
