Sunfear, the project of Istanbul-based multidisciplinary artist Eylül Deniz, debuts on Dark Entries with Octopus. Since 2017, Deniz has been working as a composer, performer, and DJ, with a focus on different facets of ambient, jazz, and experimental music. Deniz is deeply steeped in both music theory and history. She explores electroacoustic techniques, utilizing piano, guitar, voice, and synthesizer. These are her tools for self-expression, the means to tell her story to the world.
Octopus is a rumination on loneliness, memory, and Deniz’s childhood fondness for aquatic creatures. The ten songs on the album are static and turbulent, mournful and optimistic, grounded and otherworldly. A field recording of a gently flowing stream undergirds instrumental album opener “Dokun”. The stream begins by soothing us, but as tension builds throughout the song, its presence becomes unstable, uncanny. On “I Don’t Know Why I’m Crying”, a repeating motif serves as the canvas for Deniz’s majestic, reverberant voice. While the source of sorrow remains unknowable, her catharsis is pure and real. The penultimate track, “Octopus”, breaks into an unexpected trip hop-esque beat, which only enriches the album’s introspective terroir. With Octopus, Deniz gently guides the listener to places unknown.

“The Leper Kissed The Saint” is the last of a sonic essay trilogy (after “A Color Named Nothing” and “On Any One Of Those Notes”) that explores the presence of voice in independent recordings – this time inspired on R. D. Laing’s 1967 work “The Politics of Experience and The Bird of Paradise”.

This recording was aired 21.02.2024 on @lyl_radio for French label @disques-de-la-spirale, and released on limited edition hand-made tape. The C90 cassette contains 30 extra minutes of unreleased recording, exclusive for the physical format.
