APPS HARDWARE PLUGINS SOFTWARE BKLVA ON SPOTIFY ODD IDEAS THAT BECOME REAL LAB LIGHT: AUTO

Personal lab system for strange things I make

Welcome to BKLVA Niceness Lab.

I move between circuit boards, service benches, drones, iOS interfaces, music tools, weird software, and strange ideas that want to become real before the spark disappears.

Origin myth / timeline

The story of Erkan starts suspiciously early.

EVOLUTIONARY CHANGELOG

From prehistoric stomp tests to fast reality builds.

A flexible myth timeline for the real, the exaggerated, and the deeply suspicious chapters. Later we can swap in photos, dates, project links, and stories from the actual archive.

  1. 250M-ish BC Myth

    Dinosaur QA Department

    The first prototype review is performed by something enormous stepping on it. Stress testing is born. Documentation is not.

  2. Tiny soup era Fiction

    Tadpole Firmware

    A small aquatic beta version insists it will build hardware one day. Nature replies: please wait for hands.

  3. Tool age Legend

    Humans Discover Debugging

    Two rocks click together. Percussion, repair culture, and the first support ticket all appear within the same afternoon.

  4. 1985 Spawn day

    Erkan Enters The Build

    A new human arrives with curiosity preinstalled and a suspicious belief that every appliance is hiding a secret.

  5. Kid lab Maybe true

    Domestic Teardown Department

    Remote controls, cables, speakers, and anything with screws become educational material. Warranty departments feel a chill.

  6. 1998 Real

    Paperboy Logistics Division

    First job at 13: delivering papers, learning routes, timing, responsibility, and that the blacksmith's house always got the paper because his wife understood the power of pocket change.

  7. 1999 Unauthorized

    Big Brother's IBM Boot Ritual

    First music software opens without permission on the IBM machine in his room. No official training. No clearance. Music skills unlocked anyway.

  8. Diploma era Real

    Electronics Technician Unlocked

    Formal training gives names to the magic: voltage, signal, faults, repair, and the ancient art of making dead things blink.

  9. Field mode Real

    On-Site Reality Boss

    Service work teaches the hard level: fix the machine, read the room, keep calm, and make it look like you meant to do that.

  10. Drone age Real

    Bench To Sky

    Team lead in the electronics production department, production flow, tests, pilots, and machines that refuse to stay politely on the table.

  11. Sound + apps Now-ish

    BKLVA Meets Software Wizardry

    Music, iOS ideas, plugins, prototypes, strange interfaces, and tiny machines made from logic start sharing the same room.

  12. Current build Live

    The Fast Reality Converter

    Inventor, product designer, musician, drone pilot, and software wizard turns ideas into working things before the spark cools.

Utility shelf / OnePress Apps

Lower-stakes apps. Still shipped.

A compact family of one-job iPhone tools. Not every build needs the big museum light; some apps just need to exist, solve the thing, and stay out of the way.

Sound module

BKLVA is the artist side of the machine.

SPOTIFY ARTIST

BKLVA

My electronic music lives here too. The same instinct that turns hardware, software, and product ideas into working things also shows up as sound: compact, characterful, built for feeling.

Builder Across Hardware, Software & Sound

Diploma-trained electronics technician, service-minded field operator, product inventor, app designer, electronic musician, and fast prototype maker. I turn ideas into working things before they lose their voltage.

On the bench / recently shipped
  • Picture synth / sequencer turns drawings and images into tracks with color-mapped voices.
  • Air Sampler is live on iPhone: a pocket recorder for catching sounds before they disappear.
  • AU drum machine works with the sampler so tiny captures can become kits, patterns, and chaos.
  • Secret Sauce is an AU color plugin for instant texture, character, and suspicious sparkle.
  • Fly Lab is an educational fly simulator where food, stress, sleep, environment, and neural signals become tiny cause-and-effect lessons.
  • Retrolan is the local network gaming OS-on-a-stick: plug in, find the other sticks, and play like the old days.
  • Cave Lineage is an AI-inspired survival simulation about memory, fear, misinformation, and the question: what happens when the story that keeps you alive becomes wrong?
  • BKLVA Paket is an all-in-one musical instrument for building tracks, shaping sounds, and turning BKLVA ideas into something playable.
