Özcan Saraç’s oeuvre ultimately envisions music as an evolving organism - a self-generating entity that reflects the fluidity of human consciousness and the shifting relationship between organic - inorganic systems. His creative process treats sound as something alive, capable of transformation, decay, and rebirth. Through this living continuum, he challenges music to be experienced not as a fixed form, but as a constantly mutating field of awareness.
As an electronic musician and composer, his genre-defying body of work explores the boundaries between sound, narrative and consciousness. Since the release of his debut album Copnvvvs in 2022, Saraç has developed a distinctive musical language that blends experimental electronic forms with emotional and philosophical depth. Over the course of seven studio albums, his compositions have evolved into immersive soundscapes that redefined the line between music, senses and thought.
Saraç's latest work, Neural Generators of the Auditory Brainstem Response, pushes this vision further, reimagining sound not just as an aesthetic experience but as a living system of cognition and perception. Through intricate sonic architectures, Özcan Saraç transforms the act of listening into an existential inquiry, inviting the audience to confront the complex relationship between being and time.

''Wrapping one’s head around this album is not easy, especially so soon after its release. To really grasp its intricacies and nuances, each movement could potentially be explored on its own for a month. At each run through, different moments stand out and leave the listener in awe, a real feeling of “how” and “what did I just hear” that makes one doubt their own perception of sound. Since the very first listen, however, Neural Generators of the Auditory Brainstem Response makes it clear that it will keep on offering new discoveries and bottomless reflection, and that both in its abstraction, extension and depth, it is one of the best works of its kind in recent memory.''

''Manifestations of Natural Phenomena’ is a furnace blast introduction to the uncompromising work of Özcan Saraç, who has proceeded over the past decade from installation artist working across the world to release his work in the physical and digital domains since 2022. The set plays to the range of Saraç’s sound, characterising fascinations with radical electronics between the head-scrambling hyper chromatic whorls of ‘Time (0,0)’ thru to crushing, militant percussion and minor key string arrangements ripe for a cyberpunk flick soundtrack on its numerous ‘Motion’ parts, and another, finer, strain of investigation in the ‘Space’ pieces that trade in deeply trippy stereo diffusions of sound on the threshold of perception.''

''The album contains strong undercurrents of glitch and noise and engages with other IDM styles to create a jagged and anxious flow over its eleven tracks. There are no melodies between the grooves and no contrast between the different elements – everything is blatantly exhibited on the same level. Özcan Saraç is an artist not inclined to compromise, resulting in an album that is blunt and direct. His riotous generative glitch brutalism hits the spot. One way for a musician to respond to centralized control is to increase the degree of radicalism in their work by deconstructing, for example, concepts such as pleasant or harmonious, Saraç does this on Copnvvvs and much more. It is a corrosive work, that comes in a limited edition black polycarbonate compact disc with a negative print on the chromatic upper layer.''
