Zeynep Toraman

Zeynep Toraman is a composer and scholar from Istanbul, living and working in Berlin. Her practice-based research explores the ways in which texts (in the broadest sense of this word) can interact with one another within the larger framework of musical compositions, by way of thinking of her own library as an archive, and enfolding autobiography, poetry, fiction and history within her works.
Zeynep Toraman taught at the Institute for Electronic Music and Acoustics (IEM) at the University of University of Music and Performing Arts Graz and she completed her PhD in Music Composition at Harvard University in 2023, where she studied with Chaya Czernowin, Hans Tutschku and John Hamilton.
