Murat Yakın
A graduate of the Istanbul Technical University Center for Advanced Music Studies (MIAM), and the University of Memphis, Murat Yakın worked with Pieter Snapper, Reuben De Lautour, Hasan Uçarsu, and Kamran Ince.
Yakın’s compositions make ample use of electronic resources such as pre-recorded samples and real-time signal processing. These compositional methods and electronic sound worlds are also reflected in his acoustic compositions.
His music received performances at many leading contemporary music festivals world-wide, such as the New Music Concerts in South Africa, the Ctrl-Alt-Del and Divertimento music festivals in Istanbul, as well as the Imagine Music Festival and the New Sound Concert Series in the US.
Currently, Murat Yakın serves as an Assistant Professor for Composition at the Başkent University in Ankara.
