Rengin
I'm Refia Engin, a Computer Engineering student at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, pursuing a second major in Audio Production. I'm passionate about exploring the space where technology, music, art, and human connection meet.
My work spans engineering, immersive technology, music, and creative projects. Alongside my studies, I'm involved with Erguvan Art & Academy and Auctorium, where I work with young creatives and artists to create opportunities for collaboration, storytelling, and artistic expression.
I'm especially interested in how technology can become a tool for creativity—not just something we use, but something we can experience, hear, and interact with. Whether I'm working on a technical project, playing piano, exploring audio, or creating something with a team, I'm always looking for ways to bring different disciplines together.

Selected stages
From school concert halls to Ankara's concert stages — a few of the places I've played.
Hear it live
Two short recordings — one on stage with a choir, one alone at the piano.

Alongside the piano, I work with marbling — floating colour on water and drawing it into patterns before laying paper on top. Every sheet is a one-off: soft, flowing and impossible to repeat exactly, a bit like a live performance.
Prints and original sheets are available on request.
