Based in Almaty, Aina Zhekebatyr interweaves psychoacoustic effects with sonic fiction, weaving processed field recordings, compositional deconstruction, and sensorial design into a spectral place. Compositions unfold as sedimented aural topographies: layered, obscure, and emotionally encoded. Non-linear time is evoked, therapeutic signals transmitted and transmuted to vibrational ambiguity placing the ear in altered states of reception. Aina engages with immersive art, installations, generative systems, performance, and image-making, exploring unstable materials and multi-sensory outputs to shape a creative approach that prioritises fluidity over fixed form and frequency over representation. Recent explorations into spatial listening ecologies and the somatic weight of sound investigate how auditory pressure, repetition, and filtered resonance can reorganise perception and narrative structure.
