Doomcast 044 - Jesper Pedersen, -charlesross-, Elif Yalvaç - The Phantom (from Planet Zongo)

Founded in 2018, Curated Doom is a small independent record label with a focus on abstract, experimental and ambient music. Artists include Ghost of Wood, Darkroom, Michael Bearpark, Fishclaw, Gömböc, Elif Yalvaç and Ian Fleming.

ased in London, Elif Yalvaç (née Hazal Elif Yalvaç) is a producer, composer and guitarist from North Western Turkey. Her journey in sound started as a young girl getting enthusiastic about electric guitar and retro game audio. She has had  an over a decade long presence in music with international appearances, especially in the UK, Iceland, and Norway, through solo and collaborative works and performances, music critic reviews, and radio features.

Having worked with others (including the Brooklyn-based label NNA Tapes in 2020) and independently, Elif pushes the boundaries and believes in the value of organic connections in the music scene, defying the obstacles posed by algorithms or capital-oriented PR agencies and their stakeholders. Her latest solo album “Vection” was released in April 2024 by the Amsterdam-based label Moving Furniture Records under the Eliane Tapes series dedicated to the pioneering electronic music composer Eliane Radigue. Elif’s upcoming solo work features elements of speedcore, noise, IDM, drone, and ambient music, drawing on her versatile approaches and background in music, from using a Game Boy or from guitar playing and singing in rock and metal contexts to sound design with her own software tools for ambient music. Both in studio and live settings, Elif uses a number of instruments including a handmade synth that she calls “Freakbox”, her standard and baritone guitars and pedals, as well as software such as VCV Rack and Ableton Live. She values minimal setup in performance and making the most of limitations.

Elif collaborates with others extensively, including her avantgarde metal project Diaries of Destruction as a guitarist with her partner Jordan Muscatello (electric bass, double bass, laptop); her contemporary ambient project with Philamelian, and Green Drift with Expert Sleepers, as well as her ongoing collaborations with Michael Bearpark. She has performed with a wide range of artists internationally including Eraldo Bernocchi, Colin Edwin, Jon Durant, and Jono Podmore.

Alongside her performance and production efforts, Elif curates and hosts “Talk to the Chip”, a podcast on pioneering electronic music on Resonance FM with Jono Podmore. She is the curator of the bi-monthly live electronics event series “Heart of Noise Cambridge” at Cambridge Junction. Elif holds an MA degree in Music (Sonic Arts) from Istanbul Technical University, with a thesis on the creative and aesthetic value of limitations in the context of Chip Music. She teaches electronic music composition and production at the Music department in Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London where she currently runs the undergrad Electronic Music pathway as a lead professor in Electronic & Produced Music department.
