//Biography of Melih Kor


Art and music are breaths from our consciousness, freed.

For Melih Kor, the seeds of this idea and his drive to create took root from a very early age when he first listened to the electronic music produced by artists such as Mr. Oizo and Daft Punk in the 90s.

Fascinated and inspired by their work, he began to DJ and make music of his own imagining. The sound of his music finds it’s signature in his attention to highly detailed rhythms, ethereal yet techy flows and deep pumping beats.

2019 has seen Melih unveil something new. Further honing his skills, he has sought to break the barriers of craft bringing art and music together as one experience.
So he has created NON/DUAL (formerly K:orona): NON/DUAL is not only a label; it is a lifestyle, presenting innovative, eclectic music and art to inspire people and show them his passion for creating ideas that flow together uninhibited and free.

Philosophy

The style of Melih Kor is not applicable in a specific genre. For him is music something beautiful, which has to breath and be free.

Melih Kor´s ultimate goal is to share his music and art with others and take them on a journey."I want to share and give something, what I made with heart and passion, to
people, whom I will take them on a whole different journey - to change their consciousness and lives”"
