I am Uğur Akagündüz, a sound artist and engineer with a master's degree in sound engineering and design from MIAM and a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, both from Istanbul Technical University.
My practice spans a range of fields, including acoustics, sound design, audio recording, music production, performance, and improvisation. I have performed at many venues and prominent festivals in Istanbul, often collaborating with contemporary dancers and sound artists. I am a founding member of the improvisation ensemble powTheNoise and a member of the music duo Maiada.
I worked as a sound designer and music producer for the national culture TV channel TRT2 from 2018 to 2022. In addition to my work at TRT2, I have contributed to numerous award winning feature films and advertisement projects. Currently, I am a Sound Designer and Music Producer for the early learning platform Upily, continuing my journey in sound design and music production since 2012.
Additionally, I am one of the co-founders of the acoustical consulting and design firm AKUSTİKA. I work collaboratively with architects, structural engineers, mechanical engineers, musicians, and local authorities to discuss and agree on acoustic project objectives. My involvement spans various projects, including airport buildings, radio TV, music halls, residential developments, performing arts spaces, and offices.
