- "Istanbul-born and Berlin-based artist excavates the musical traditions of her once and future homes, fusing traditional instrumentation and rhythms with scalding ambience and atonal distortion." - NOISEYIstanbul born and raised, 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 ancient within abstract 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 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 human condition, Jungian psychology, mysticism and folklore. In August 2018 Şeb-i Yelda (EP/12'') was released by Karlrecords, which presented Utku (as R.A.N.) with an evolved sound and strong theme to a wide audience. Following the international success of her EP, she released her debut full-length album under her own name Gnosis in July 2019 via the same label. This release gained Utku recognition for her unique approach of creating sonic story plots by merging concepts with experiments in electronic music. Since 2016, she has presented her work and performed across Europe and the Middle east; including performances in Atonal Berlin, HKW, Radialsystem and Kiezsalon, in Berlin/DE; Salon IKSV in Istanbul/TR, Donaufestival and Musikprotokoll in Austria, Forte Prenestino in Rome/IT, Today's Art in Netherlands, Insomnia Festival in Norway and many others. Her work has received notable press from platforms such as The Wire, Noisey, RollingStone, Redbull Music, Groove Mag, Gonzo Circus and Scene Noise among others, as well as getting broadcasted by seminal radio station and platforms such as BBC Radio 3, NTS radio, RAI 3 (Italian National Broadcasting), Resonance FM, YLE (Finnish National Broadcasting) and Sveriges Radio (Swedish National Broadcasting). In 2021, Utku has been selected as a SHAPE (Sound, Heterogeneous Art and Performance in Europe) artist. In spring 2022, her new album will be released via Editions Mego.̸The Psychologist (2022, Editions Mego) (LP/CD/DL) Gnosis (2019, Karlrecords) (DL & LP) Şeb-i Yelda EP (2018, Karlrecords) (DL & 12'')
