Bike Öner is a composer and cellist originally from Istanbul, Turkey, now based in Austin, USA. Her work bridges acoustic and electronic music, exploring themes of proximity, memory, transformation, and the emotional depth of co-presence within mixed realities. Drawing inspiration from diverse data sources, she creates multi-dimensional, multi-directional, and continuous musical experiences that highlight shared human perception.

​

A second dimension of her music involves blending instruments from different musical cultures, juxtaposing Eastern and Western tuning systems and timbral contrasts. This cross-cultural fusion extends into her electroacoustic practice, immersing audiences in the co-presence of musicians across mediums, locations, and times.

​

Bike holds a bachelor's and master's degree in cello performance and earned a Master of Music Composition from Istanbul Technical University MIAM in 2022. Her compositions have been presented nationally and internationally. She is currently pursuing a Ph.D. at the University of Texas at Austin, Butler School of Music, where she also teaches in EEMS (Experimental and Electronic Music Studios).
