The music of Isik Kural reaches forth from a place of future memory. His humble and intimate songs are collaged from fleeting moments, tinted with literary references and flickers from life’s silent cinema to create an impressionistic snapshot of the world that is perfectly imperfect in its poetry. Isik's music tunes into tender and liminal states of being where the simple wonder of everyday life peeks through and the imaginary is always ripe for discovery.
Born in Turkey, Isik began making music on a nylon string guitar during his teens, gradually adding field recordings and synthesizers to the mix. From his home in Istanbul he moved to Miami to study music engineering, spent a spell in New York City, and eventually landed in Scotland, where he graduated with a masters in sound design and audiovisual practice from the University of Glasgow.
On his new record, Moon in Gemini, Isik shares a more vocal-forward sound that builds upon the imagistic instrumental textures heard on previous albums, in february and Peaches. Meandering through the folk song form, IsIk tells delightfully off-kilter tales brimming with natural imagery and simple reflections on life, working with Stephanie Roxanne Ward, pka spefy on a number of tracks. Whimsical ambient expressions are interwoven with the pair's songwriting and these sonic scrapbooks warp and swerve in an unbounded spirit of play.
