"Live Dangerously"
Istanbul born and raised, now Berlin based electronic music composer and sound artist Hüma Utku explores the possibilities of how sound textures and rhythm can be used to evoke a sense of the ancient within electronic music. With an overall disregard for musical genre divisions, she fuses field recordings, acoustic instruments, atmospheric ambience into harmonious noise and harsh ritualistic rhythms as a means to utilise sound and music as tools for storytelling. Combining her practice of music with her studies in psychology, Utku’s works draw inspiration from the human condition, Jungian psychology, mysticism and folklore.
