Joey Largent is a composer and writer from Northern Arkansas living between Tbilisi and Istanbul. His poetic and musical practices intertwine across geography, language, and memory, shaped by a mystical investigation of the emotional architectures of time, longing, held remembrance, and non-dual resonance. His musical work centers on long-duration compositions and improvisations for acoustic ensembles and solo performance - frequently integrating just intonation and extended field recordings - and his ensembles often expand to regularly include artists from other disciplines as performers.

He has released three full-length albums of his music, Earth Drones (2018), Levitation Practice in the High-Order Modal Stasis of Sema (2020), and Below Diorite Waters (2021, Dragon’s Eye Recordings), and has studied North Indian classical music with disciples of Pandit Pran Nath, including composer Michael Harrison and Rose Okada, with shorter studies under Pir Shabda Kahn and La Monte Young. He holds a degree in Geography and Middle East Studies from the University of Arkansas, and has collaborated widely with dancers, musicians, and interdisciplinary artists over the past decade.

Joey is also the founder and artistic director of Moon Below the Sun, a small press and record label for intentional literature, films, photography, and acoustic music from across geographies, operating between Georgia, the U.S., and Turkey.
