Elif Yalvaç (née Hazal Elif Yalvaç) creates music using an array of instruments mainly with guitars and software design tools. Her music has received international acclaim including reviews in The Guardian, and The Wire, alongside features and broadcasts including WDR and BBC. Her works embrace opposites: microsound glitches and slow builds; celestial beauty and abrasive energy. Elif collaborates with others extensively, including her avantgarde metal project Diaries of Destruction and her album Green Drift with Expert Sleepers (September 2022). Her most recent works include collaborations with various artists from Nordic countries with Möller Records. Her latest album “Vection” was released in April 2024 by the Amsterdam-based experimental music label Moving Furniture Records under the Eliane Tapes series dedicated to Eliane Radigue. Elif holds an MA degree in Sonic Arts from Istanbul Technical University and regularly delivers workshops and podcasts on electronic music including co-hosting “Talk to the Chip” on Resonance FM with Jono Podmore. Elif teaches electronic music at GSMD in London, and Electronic Music Composition module at ARU. She is a member of RMA’s Music and/as Process committee. She delivers guitar lessons in local community organisations. She is the curator of the bi-monthly live electronics event series “Heart of Noise Cambridge” at Cambridge Junction. Endorsed by Arts Council England, Elif is based in the UK with a Global Talent Visa.
