Biography

Tuce Alba (1996, Turkey) is an architect, musician, and sound artist based in Berlin. Her practice focuses on sound as a material for constructing temporal and spatial experiences. Her works investigate slow transformation, minimal movement, and the physicality of sonic texture. In live performances, she builds raw, heavy noise, distortion, deep bass, and feedback. Inspired by brutalist architecture, she treats sound as a solid form; breaking and reshaping it in real time. No melody, no softness, just pure energy. Each performance is thus both a spiritual and physical encounter, meant to be felt as much as heard.

As a lifelong ney player, she expands the instrument’s possibilities by combining it with electronics and modular synthesis; exploring how traditional sounds can be reworked, fragmented, and transformed while still staying connected to their roots in Sufism. For her, this is not a stylistic reference but a way of living that informs her relation to sound: a practice of surrender, trust in time, and openness to transformation.
