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

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.
