ABOUT
With over two decades of experience in the music industry, Inal Bilsel has gained quite a notable reputation for his solo career and collaborations. A multifaceted and award-winning composer, Inal Bilsel’s work sits at the crossroads of music and visual arts, fact and fiction, nostalgia and future dystopia, and narrativity and conceptual. Over the past few years, Bilsel has developed a fictional world and a personal artistic universe that borrows elements from science fiction, nostalgia, and hauntology. In his second album, Paradise Lost (2018), Inal further elaborates on this world, culminating his entire musical and artistic experience into a transmedia narrative, taking place in a fictional post-apocalyptic world. His broad spectrum of interests and output include electronic, classical, contemporary, film, and experimental music.
Inal has previously taught at Eastern Mediterranean University and PERA school of contemporary dance, where he gave lectures on diverse topics such as sound design, multimedia, musical form, analysis, theory, and harmony. After completing his Ph.D. degree in music composition at Royal Holloway, he was appointed to be the head of the Sound Arts and Design department at ARUCAD. Inal Bilsel is an Epic Istanbul (Sony Music Turkey) artist.
