Gizem Öz is a multifaceted artist based in Amsterdam, working as a composer, sound artist, and contemporary artist. Her practice centers on conceptualisation, transforming abstract ideas and emotions into experiential forms of sound and space.

Guided by a deep curiosity about sound and consciousness, she explores how listening can open pathways to awareness and transformation. Drawing inspiration from our sensory existence and interactions with the universe, her work invites perception to slow down and deepen.

With a background in Visual Communication and Design (BA) with a filmmaking focus, Öz’s practice has been shaped by an early engagement with narrative, image, and the poetics of sensory experience. She later completed her Master’s in Music and Technology (Composition) at HKU University of the Arts Utrecht, which strengthened her experimental approach to sound, recording and spatial composition.

Using processed field recordings, electroacoustic instruments, and textural layering, she creates immersive auditory landscapes that expand into multisensory experiences. Her works move between philosophy and feeling, weaving sound, silence, and perception into a dialogue about being, consciousness, and unity.

She is the founder of Mārga, a platform dedicated to audiovisual experiences, experimental music, and sensory exploration.

Under the alias Gizem, she also performs as a DJ and producer, translating her contemplative sound world into movement through hypnotic rhythms and emotional storytelling.

Her work lives in the space between club and gallery, ritual and technology, emotion and abstraction, where perception softens and consciousness expands.

Selected showcases include Waking Life (PT), Amsterdam Dance Event (NL), FIBER (NL), Art Biesenthal Berlin (DE), Wildeburg Festival (NL), Garage Noord (NL) and beyond.
