Eda Er

Eda Er is a composer, multimedia artist, and vocalist born in Istanbul and currently working between Paris and Strasbourg. She has been exploring sound, image, and storytelling in inventive ways since 2010. Rooted in a transcontinental upbringing, her work reflects the tension and harmony of navigating multiple identities, using cultural fluidity as both a method and a metaphor for existing between worlds.

Her artistic language merges electronic and acoustic composition, traditional Turkish visual forms, and new technologies to create immersive experiences that move between the personal and the political. She explores sound as a living archive—an element that carries memory, belonging, and transformation.

Her music has been performed internationally by the Antwerp Symphony Orchestra, MusikFabrik, Ensemble Multilatérale, Vertixe Sonora, and Ninth Planet, and featured at major festivals including Gaudeamus, Mixtur, and the IKSV International Theater Festival. As a performer, she works with voice and electronics, blending composition and live performance into multimedia rituals of sound and image.

Eda is the co-founder and Artistic Director of Klank.ist, an interdisciplinary collective devoted to experimental sound and multimedia performance. She is the recipient of the George Ladd Prix de Paris, the Nicola de Lorenzo Prize, and the Lyman Fellowship in New Media.

Her current project, Fluid Narratives, transforms the traditional Turkish marbling art Ebru into a performative sound and media system, integrating feminist storytelling, postcolonial thought, and technology.
