about

Multi award winning audio producer based in Amsterdam.

Mert Gençer is a multi-instrumentalist composer, sound designer, and an audio engineer. With a string of critically acclaimed professional appearances in spatial augmented reality productions, including the world’s largest 3d mapping show ‘Conquest of Istanbul 563rd Anniversary’ (2016), he has expanded his practice to encompass commercials, films, installations, and producing other artists. Over the years, he has crafted audio productions for renowned clients such as Adidas, Samsung, Vodafone, KPN, Fox International Channels, and WWF.

In addition to his professional career, he explores creative artistic expression through his alter ego, lowkolos. As lowkolos, he departs from traditional composition methods characterized by repetitive harmonic structures, grids, and metric measurements. Instead, he produces a genre-bending fusion of music, drawing inspiration from sampling, computer processing, contemporary jazz, electro-acoustic music, intricate rhythmic patterns, and a narrative texture. To date, lowkolos has released three albums and two EPs.
