A native of Turkey, Ipek Eginli is an experimental electroacoustic sound artist and improviser who describes her music-making as “a process of a creation and a creation of a process”. Her ever-evolving creative process involves electroacoustic improvisation on piano, voice, and modular synthesizers.
Her electroacoustic solo debut album ‘Field Recording in a Black Hole’ from WeirdCry
Records and a live improvised duet album ‘Explorers’ with cellist Daniel Levin from
EyesAndEars Records were released in the summer of 2024, coinciding with her
invitation to perform at the New York Electroacoustic Music Festival and her solo
northeast US tour. Following her midwest tour, Eginli is now in the process of recording
her third album with Purplish Records to be released in February 2025.
In 2023, Ipek was awarded a residency at the Westben Centre for Connection & Creativity in Canada and also received the Reiser Atlanta Artists Lab grant from the Alliance Theater as the lead artist for the multimedia project “Hold on To Your Names,”. As a contemporary classical music pianist, she has performed solo, chamber and orchestra concerts at various venues in Turkey, Austria, the Netherlands, Germany, Canada and in many cities in the US including New York, Boston, San Francisco and Atlanta for over two decades. Ipek is the founder and director of a piano academy in north Atlanta and holds a doctoral degree in piano performance from the University of Georgia.
