Efe Yüksel (1999) is a composer, performer and electronic musician from İzmir/Turkey, currently based in London. His music has been played by the Ligeti and Bozzini Quartets, EXAUDI, Plus-Minus Ensemble, Amsterdam Cello Octet, Huw Watkins, Mark Fewer and Heather Roche among others. In recent years, his practice has involved exploring the capabilities of instruments and voices with hands-on experimentation and close collaboration with performers as well as combining them with live electronic processing. A certain sense of playfulness haunts his work, whether be it in the form of filling bass clarinets with water, making singers inhale helium or writing pieces involving balloons and bottles. The majority of his music for voice deals with inharmonic vocal multiphonics. Aside from composing, he is also active as a live electronics, melodica and vocal performer (and occasional pianist).  Since 2022, he has organised a multitude of events for melodicas and electronics that commissioned and premiered new works by himself and a wide range of composers including Amber Priestley, Etienne Rolin and fellow student composers from London music schools. He completed undergraduate and postgraduate studies with Malcolm Singer, Nye Parry and Julian Anderson. He is supported by the Guildhall School Trust, Talent Unlimited and Dr. Nejat F. Eczacıbaşı Foundation and was the recipient of the Ian Horsbrugh Memorial Prize for Composition in 2022.
