In 2020, the Talea Ensemble launched a commissioning program for early-career composers and selected Alican Çamcı to write a piece for the ensemble, to premiere in the 2021-22 season. Talea Ensemble's production manager Victoria Cheah sat down with Alican to talk about his work and recent projects. We chatted about a site specific installation-based work he premiered at Instanbul's Pera Museum, his interest in field recording, his compositional process, and more.

You can learn more about Alican and listen to some of his work at https://alicancamci.com.
