Nod is a multidisciplinary sound-based art collective found by Güneş Bozkır and Gökçe Uygun in 2021.

GÜNEŞ BOZKIR
Bozkır; is an Istanbul-based composer, artist and performer. He defines his music as a process that brings the cognitive-visual dimension of sound to the fore with the combination of intense timbres and gestures. He treats music as a ritualistic act, aiming to explore the potential relationship between sound, visual, time and space on a political, sociological, and psychological basis.
In parallel with his compositional outputs, he also performs solo or with other
artists in scenes such as experimental, free improvisation, free jazz and electronic.
He is currently a member of IBULOrk (Istanbul Bilgi University Laptop Orchestra) and NOD
