it’s
me

I’m Selçuk. I direct films, compose soundscapes, and plant stories in unlikely places.

My work lives in the quiet — between breath and shadow, between the salt of the Aegean and the hum of machines.

I’ve founded movements. Some real, some imagined. I believe in rituals, collaborations, and what happens when people gather without knowing why.

Sometimes I make music that feels like fog. Sometimes I tell stories without words.

This site is a map of those moments.

I was born with the sea not too far, and the silence of early mornings as my first rhythm.

Before I ever wrote a story, I listened — to the creak of a chair, the hum of an old cassette deck, the echo in an empty stairwell.

I wasn’t drawn to art because it was beautiful.

I was drawn because it was necessary.

A way to make sense of things that didn’t make sense.

A way to speak without having to explain.

I grew up recording voices, filming shadows — not even knowing it was called storytelling.

Cinema. Sound. Direction.

But it’s still the same thing: a search for what’s real, hidden inside what’s not.

Sometimes I start with a sound — a broken rhythm, a field recording, a whispered breath.

Other times it’s a frame — a dog looking out a window, an old woman peeling fruit, the sky blinking through wires.

I don’t separate disciplines.

To me, composing is directing.

Writing is sound design.

Performance is editing.

I believe in improvisation — not as chaos, but as truth.

I use technology with the heart of a folk artist, and tradition with the eyes of a futurist.

Everything is part of the ritual.

Because the world feels too fast, and feelings get left behind.

Because people forget, and I want to help them remember.

Not events — but states of being.
