Deniz Atalay is a composer and sound artist whose work blends electroacoustic textures, traditional Turkish music, and visual sensitivity. With a background in Sonic Arts and Traditional Turkish Music, he creates immersive soundscapes that explore the boundaries between East and West, composed form and improvisation, and the relationship between sound, space, and meaning.

​

His recent work includes sound and music for contemporary art exhibitions and installations, focusing on immersive experiences and the interplay between sonic and visual elements. Deniz is also a performer of the fretless synthesizer guitar, exploring expressive melodic freedom and extended techniques.

​

In addition to his musical practice, Deniz is an ebru (Turkish marbling) artist—a visual-poetic practice that deeply informs his approach to sound. He has performed his compositions at various interdisciplinary platforms in Poland, Italy, and Türkiye.

​

Between 2018 and 2023, Deniz served on the board of directors of BESOM (the Association of Composers, Musicologists, and Conductors in Türkiye).

​

Currently based in Ankara, Deniz continues to collaborate with artists, galleries, and institutions on sound-based projects that investigate perception, tradition, and transformation.
