Joey Largent is a semi-nomadic interdisciplinary artist from northern Arkansas based in Istanbul. His work moves across sound, performance, and language, shaped by a mystical attention to how time is felt through longing, resonance, and held experience. His practice unfolds in long-duration forms that create environments for presence and shared interior states.

His published work includes a poetry chapbook, Naked on the Summit of Damavand (2026) and three albums: Earth Drones (2018), Levitation Practice in the High-Order Modal Stasis of Sema (2020), and Below Diorite Waters (2021, Dragon’s Eye Recordings). Alongside these releases, he has developed a sustained body of performance and ensemble-based work, often in close dialogue with dancers and interdisciplinary artists.

Joey studied North Indian classical music and just intonation with students of Pandit Pran Nath, including Michael Harrison and Rose Okada, and holds a degree in Geography and Middle East Studies from the University of Arkansas. He is the founder and artistic director of Moon Below the Sun , an evolving platform supporting intentional literature, film, photography, and acoustic music across geographies, with a focus on works connected to Türkiye, Georgia, Armenia, Iran, and the United States.
