I
About
Berk KÖKSAL's musical journey began with guitar performances and home studio recordings. Over time, this journey evolved into a wider sound world shaped by neoclassical guitars, symphonic choirs, ambient sound design, sacred atmospheres, rap vocals, children's choirs, cathedral organs, progressive rock and modern production techniques.
His work is not centered merely on genre, technique or production. At the heart of his music is the desire to glorify GOD. For him, music is more than a career: it is a path of submission, a call to remembrance and an effort to proclaim belief in the ONE GOD through the sounds of the modern age.
This artistic direction became the foundation of the musical approach he named Neo-Sacred Zikr.

II · Mission
Music as Remembrance
The reason Berk KÖKSAL began creating zikr music is rooted in his QUR'AN-centered understanding of submission: to remember GOD, to glorify GOD and to make the beautiful names of GOD heard throughout the world.
In his works, phrases such as Allah, La ilaha illa Allah, Allahu Akbar, Subhan Allah, Alhamdulillah, Ya Rahman, Ya Rahim, Ya Nur and Ya Hannan are not merely words. They become musical gestures of remembrance.
Every repetition is a turning toward GOD. Every choir is an ascent. Every guitar is an inner search. Every atmosphere is part of submission.
Artistic Vision
Neo-Sacred Zikr
A sacred sound universe where zikr, sacred music, spiritual music, devotional music, symphonic zikr, ambient zikr, sacred rap and choral music meet under one purpose: glorifying GOD.
