Welcome — I’m Murat Çolak, a mastering and recording engineer, mixer, and producer based in Manhattan, working with artists and labels worldwide.

With a background as a classically trained composer (MA, Istanbul Technical University; DMA, Boston University), my engineering practice is informed by a multi-faceted perspective that merges musical, technical, and aesthetic insight. I focus on modern classical, avant-garde, and electroacoustic music, with credits on international art music labels such as KAIROS, Edition Wandelweiser, NEOS, Jazzland, Another Timbre, Da Vinci Classics, Neuma, Innova, and New Focus Recordings. My work also extends to jazz, world music, hip-hop, and electronic dance music — allowing my experience in contemporary art music to bring a unique sonic vision to genres driven by rhythm, sound design, and voice.

Education is a core part of my work. I teach music composition, production, and technology at Montclair State University and with the New York Philharmonic. I’ve held teaching residencies and given  talks at institutions including Columbia University’s Computer Music Center (CMC), Stanford’s Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA), Harvard University’s Group for New Music (HGNM), Simon Fraser University School of Contemporary Arts, and UC Berkeley’s CNMAT.

My studio, GERYON, is located in uptown Manhattan. It’s a dedicated space for mastering and mixing, as well as meeting artists and listening deeply. I also produce high-fidelity location recordings in studios, venues, and houses of worship across New York City.

Whether you're working on something intimate or expansive, I’m always excited to connect with artists pushing boundaries and exploring uncharted sonic territory.
