Hüma Utku combines her musical practice with her academic studies in psychology through works drawing inspiration from human condition. With an overall disregard for genres, the Berlin-based Turkish music composer and electronic sound artist uses field recordings, acoustic instruments, and deep textures to create harmonious noise and harsh ritualistic rhythms as narrative tools. 

Utku’s 2018 EP, Şeb-i Yelda, and 2019 album debut Gnosis—dropped through Berlin’s Karlrecords—earned her recognition for her unique approach to storytelling through electronic music. A second full-length, The Psychologist was released by Editions Mego in 2022, and is described as Utku’s most ambitious, authentic, and complex work to date.
