I taught “Composition Techniques in 20th century”, “Critical Perspectives in Musical Composition”, “Introduction to Sociology”, and “Social Thought in Movies” at various institutions and departments. I come from a computer science and engineering and historical musicology background. My PhD thesis focused on the genealogy of death/doom metal music networks in northern England. I have previously worked on John Dowland’s religious oeuvre and Elizabethan social structures in 17th century; and I have also written a dissertation on the ideas of death and suicide in depressive suicidal black metal music. My research interests include extreme metal cultures, gaming cultures, and sociology of scientific knowledge among others.EducationPhD Musicology – Leeds Beckett University, 2018 MMus Ethnomusicology – Royal Holloway, University of London, 2015 MA Historical Musicology – Istanbul Technical University, Centre for Advanced Studies in Music, 2014 BSc Computer Science and Engineering – Sabanci University, 2012CVView fileWork Shared in COREArticles‘Delightfully depressing’: Death/doom metal music world and the emotional responses of the fanDissertationsJohn Dowland’s Religious Venture: Perspectives on the Elizabethan Social Structure and Rhetorical Analysis of ‘A Pilgrimes Solace’Dead is dead: Perspectives on the Meaning of Death in Depressive Suicidal Black Metal Music through Musical RepresentationsEssaysGloomy Divergence: Death/Doom Metal as Dark LeisureSymbolism and Text Painting in Tan Dun’s Marco PoloDoom metal and ways of remembering in popular musicTheses‘The Barghest o’ Whitby’: (A Genealogical Study of) Death/Doom Metal Music(al) Network in Northern EnglandConference papers‘Death – Pierce Me’: A case study considering a Freudian repetition-compulsion view in depressive suicidal black metal‘Gateways of Bereavement’: a defence of sub-categorisation in metal music‘Golden Hatred’: anti-war sentiment and transgression in death doom metal‘My Body, a Funeral’: dark leisure activity and death reflections in death/doom and gothic/doom metal music‘Quiet These Paintings Are’: the function of slowness in doom metal styles‘The Blood, The Wine, The Roses’: Lust and contrast in My Dying Bride’s music‘A Cruel Taste of Winter’: Gothic/doom metal as an act of Northernness‘Humörets Bottenvåning’: Suicide in depressive suicidal black metal music‘The Raven and the Rose’: Tradition and Death/Doom Metal MusicOtherHong Kong Metal Scene: An overview and related issuesVocal accent and identity in Scandinavian metal
