Hi, I am Hasan.​

​

I am an engineer, researcher, and avid electronic music/audio enthusiast.

​

With technology and science, my mission is to balance the integrity of the mind, body, and soul—and their connection to the universe—through the precise design of (often audible) frequencies.

​

This has led my work to focus within a triangulation of:

​

Thought-Provoking Exploration:

From arca-musarithmica to digital music, I draw from the history of electronic music and technology attempting to carry it into the future. I truly enjoy the sounds that emerge from (non)functional forms of scientific discoveries.

​

Creative Engagement for Universal Connection: 

My work addresses collective human behavior within cultural contexts, designing musical experiences that trigger social connection and vitalize emotional contagion through performances, installations, and collaborations in (un)favorable public spots.

​

Real-World Impact: 

I address the global challenge of tinnitus, which affects over 700 million people worldwide and is becoming increasingly prevalent. I do this through computational music compositions based on neuroscientific principles to protect and enhance auditory well-being.

What Do I Do?​

​

• I am developing musical systems that merge art, science, and health.

 

My most recent project, the Tinnitus Therapy Synthesizer (TTS), is in clinical trials to address tinnitus through personalized computational music compositions using neuroscientific methods. This project is evolving into a vital resource for healthcare professionals and industries at risk of auditory health issues, such as gaming, music, aviation, military, and space exploration. I collaborate with researchers, neurologists, musicians, and academic institutions, including Hacettepe University Medical Sciences, Ankara University Medical School and Turkish Neurological Society to explore how these compositions can address both auditory and mental health challenges.

​

• As a 13+ year professional, I have worked as a music producer, audio engineer, licensor, editor, and project manager in the music and media industry, working with labels, collectives, and radio stations across Turkey, the Netherlands, Germany and the UK.

​

• For educational purposes, I developed responsive musical systems for site-specific applications in museums and art fairs.

 

• I have volunteered at OXFAM in Reading, UK, a leading charity organization, where I led an initiative on donations of large amounts of musical materials.

​

• As an audit student in the Graduate Classes at Hacettepe University's Fine Arts Faculty, focusing on Spatial Analysis, I explored artistic applications of form and acoustics - challenging the perception of everyday objects through the use of technology.

 

• Driven by my love for electronic music and dissatisfaction with modern DJ’ing - I created a self-playing nightclub system that translates crowd movements into dynamic dance music - and hosted commercial parties with it.

​

• Additionally, we have founded a collaborative hub (Woodroom) for cross-pollination of musical ideas within the local music scene in Ankara.

​

My background includes studies in Industrial Engineering (Bilkent University - Turkey) and Audio Engineering/Electronic Music (Middlesex University /  PB Music School - UK), as well as specialized training in Electronic Music Production, Music Business, and Sound Design in various institutes (Modern Music Academy & SAE Institute).

​​​​​​​​​​​

​​​​In my spare time, I like to perform electronic music by programming samplers, drum machines and similar technologies in Woodroom, a collaborative music-space in Ankara for experimental music.​​​

​

I also take care of my personal agriculture project.
