*****************************************

ISTANBUL RELOADED invites you to reload your sonic perception, and sample
the diversity of Istanbuli experimental sound art.

Istanbul evokes many connotations ranging from the mysterious riches of
Byzantium to the throbbing capital of the Eurasian world Constantinople.
History books and travel guides have imprinted an image on us ranging
from orientalist fairy tale dreams to a modern metropolis negotiating
tradition and future, east and west. We can picture Istanbul visually
with all its landmarks, and have probably eavesdropped on Turkish pop and
traditional music. However, how diversified is that perception?
As the cultural capital of Turkey, Istanbul boasts a small, but
exceptional experimental electronic music scene, probes the new
possibilities real-time processing and other technologies allow for
performance and composition, sometimes merging traditional Turkish
influences and instruments with the aesthetics of contemporary
electronics.
