Rooted in the landscapes of the Ural Mountains in Bashkortostan, Airat Khaziev materialises as Şüräle: echo turned artist. Now based in Almaty and shaped by Bashkort and Tatar heritage, he treats tradition not as a fixed source but as a structure to be re-entered – uncovering subtle, forgotten components that can be reconfigured to speak to the now. Folklore and futurity, organic textures and algorithmic systems intermingle: dense ambient layers dissolve into sculpted noise, glitch folds into ritual songforms, and field recordings merge with synthetic timbres in acts of aural myth-making. Synthesis, machine learning, and traditional instruments become intertwined with the echoing residue of locality, where ancient narratives and speculative sound cohabit the same space.

Through melophonous interrogation of post-anthropocenic philosophy and Orientalist framing, tympanic locality is transmogrified into critique and convergence. Gruelingly poetic live sets and installations embrace wheezing and fractured club mutations in the ambient haze of regeneration, as research explores agency in listening: how non‑human actors, code, folk timbres, and political critique copulate amidst audio programming and composition.
