Özkan Manav

Ali Özkan Manav (born May 20, 1967) is a Turkish composer of contemporary classical music. His earlier works reveal influences of Saygun, Usmanbaş and Ligeti (in rhythmic and contrapuntal design), at times progressing through aleatoric sections (in orchestral works). Later works combine newer timbral concerns with maqamic pitch content, microtones and elements of folk music (ornamentations, vocal and instrumental practices, etc.).
