Dedicated to her hero Eliane Radigue, this album holds five tracks of sublime sonorities and harmonies, fully in the spirit of the pioneer of electronic music.

“Track titles have references to sky objects and physical phenomena as well as events that affect me in my life as I observe my environment, while listening to the sounds, sometimes alongside music such as those created by Radigue herself.” (Yalvac)

Elif Yalvaç creates music using an array of instruments including guitars, synthesizers, field recordings, and Game Boy. For this album she decided to stick to a simple set-up, using Max/MSP patches to process the sounds, usually with granular synthesis, FM synthesis, and wavetable synthesis. Game Boy and electric guitar were her main instruments.

Yalvaç holds an MA degree in Sonic Arts from Istanbul Technical University in Turkey. Endorsed by Arts Council England, Elif is based in the UK with a Global Talent Visa. In addition to composition, performance, and production, she teaches electronic music at Guildhall School of Music & Drama (GSMD) in London, and Electronic Music Composition module at ARU.

“Perhaps the most obvious trait, heard in every track and one of the key elements that drives the obfuscatory / allusive aspect of the music, is resonance, the perception that what we’re hearing is reverberation emanating from some unclear source.” (Simon Cummings)
