SY by Deli Kuvveti

Deli Kuvveti is an electronic musician from the Aegean coast of Turkey, now based in Seattle. While he works with a number of different approaches and setups, SY is mostly based on generative Max/MSP material.

These seven tracks explore a three-dimensional world of contrasting textures, liquid churn and jarring asymmetrical shapes. Over the course of the album the emphasis subtly shifts back and forth between hyperactive irregular beats and luminous drones.

"Deli Kuvveti has been busy. The Turkey-born, Seattle-based artist put out at least five new releases in the past month, including the pithy rattlings of B​ü​k​ü​l​ü​r B​ü​k​ü​lmez, the darker, metallic clang of Kadife Alacakaranl​ı​k, and the lengthier meditations of In the Summer Dusk and From Afar. I think the best of his recent work is SY, which the label says is “mostly based on generative Max/MSP material.” This likely means Kuvveti wasn’t totally in control of the sounds of these seven tracks—each of which has a one-word title starting with “sy”—and it does feel like he’s both creating and reacting here. This is clearest on the two longest pieces, opener “Synaptic” and closer “Synthetic,” both of which demonstrate Kuvveti’s patient, open approach to sonic construction".- Marc Masters,The Best Experimental Music on Bandcamp: February 2023
