Born in Istanbul, Turkey, and based in Austin, USA, Bike holds bachelor’s and master’s degrees in cello performance. She has performed with numerous orchestras as a member of chamber music groups and symphony orchestras in Turkey and abroad since the age of fifteen. In 2022, she received her Master of Music Composition degree from MIAM -Center for Advanced Studies in Music- and is currently pursuing a P.hd at the University of Texas at Austin, Butler School of Music. Her music organically merges aspects of new and old concert music with electro-acoustic elements, including processed live sounds she comes across in her life. Listening to the auditory scenes around her is usually where her composing starts from. One could say her music is imprinted by these scenes and taken to destinations near and far.
