 |  | | Ekin Fil - Bora Boreas | Ekin Fil, the nom de plume of Istantbul–based Ekin Üzeltüzenc, has been composing threadbare ambient works since at least the early tens, characterised by a heady mixture of field recordings, siren vocals, and reverb–laden piano. The cocktail is not unfamiliar to those who turn to Kranky label artists – Liz Harris, Tim Hecker, Adam Wiltzie, and so on – for their fix. While the elements and their gossamer dressing might be known quantities, there is something absent from Bor Boreas, Ekin Fil‘s latest offering. Not absent as in missing or lacking; absent like a void. The center has dropped out, and no amount of framing will bring it back.
