If a tree falls in the forrest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?

Sanem Kalfa is an artist of remarkable depth, known for her ability to explore an expansive vocal range that captivates and moves audiences. Often described as an emotional journey, her performances blend technical virtuosity with profound storytelling. With this solo album, Kalfa unveils a new facet of her artistry—her voice intertwining with the rich, expressive tones of the cello.

This record is a deeply personal exploration, weaving together electronic elements, cello, and voice to tell stories—both her own and those of women whose strength, resilience, love, and sorrow shape the world. Kalfa creates an intimate soundscape, layering textures through an unconventional use of looping, live recordings, and delicate instrumental arrangements. Some songs embrace raw simplicity, featuring only voice, ukulele, and cello, allowing their emotional core to shine through. Inspired in part by the poetry of Turkish writer Sait Maden, Kalfa fuses evocative lyricism with her unique vocal vocabulary, electronics, and strings. The result is a deeply moving, boundary-defying work—an ode to the power and complexity of the female experience.
