Alev Lenz

Last autumn, Alev Lenz joined us in the studio as part of our Visiting Artists programme. Alev is a singer, songwriter, composer, and producer whose work seamlessly blends sophisticated pop, experimental soundscapes, and heritage-driven musical explorations. Known for her distinctive voice and innovative compositions, Alev’s music defies easy categorisation. Her credits include Black Mirror, Dark, and The Old Guard, with her voice and writing in steady demand for both screen and stage.

Over the years, she has developed a rich catalogue of compositions that fuse diverse musical worlds into something distinctly her own. Whether creating haunting vocal-scapes, writing powerful choral arrangements, or composing for award-winning artists, Alev continues to push the boundaries of music with courage and authenticity.

During her time with us, Alev immersed herself in her current projects, including her highly anticipated fourth album – a song cycle in three parts, a song for and arranged solely on each note of the chromatic scale. Thematically Alev calls it a marvel at the mundane and a discourse of discomforts. She was joined at the studio by instrumentalists Nina Harries on Bass and Zöhre Ülger on Saz.
