Deniz Atalay is an electroacoustic music composer and traditional Turkish marbling (ebru) artist. Holding Master’s degrees in Traditional Turkish Music and Sonic Arts, Atalay served on the Board of Directors of the Association of Composers, Conductors and Musicologists (BESOM) for six years. Having released albums across diverse genres, he continues his academic inquiries as an independent researcher.

​

Bringing together auditory and visual disciplines, he composes music for art galleries and installations. Bridging the fluid forms and color dynamics of marbling art with sound design, the composer creates an interdisciplinary, audiovisual space of production, having performed internationally, notably in Poland and Italy.

​

He approaches music through two fundamental lenses: Sound and Cultural Context. Perceiving music purely as "sound" grants infinite freedom in the creative process, while viewing it through a cultural lens allows him to infuse his works with the richness of a millenary human heritage. This broad spectrum of expression feeds the versatility of his releases, preserving the unpredictable and surprise-filled nature of the soundscapes he may explore tomorrow.
