034 Urban Songline (Water Score), 2015 – Borusan Contemporary, Istanbul, Turkey

This Urban Songline (Water Score) is a commission site-specifically developed as sound-. and video work for Borusan Contemporary / Perili Köşk translating the Bosporus and the building into music by playing the shape of it’s waves crashing against the quay as a musical score played over the 7 layers of the tower. Individual symphonic segments are installed on viewing / listening stations on all levels of the tower to be cumulatively enjoyed from vinyl record in the top roof room overseeing the Bosporus that created this music.

Part of the project Urban Songlines, a utopian/dystopian series of collaborative translations of buildings, urban structures and public spaces into music through site-specific sound-generation. These performances are a way of connecting to places by listening to them as well as a research into how we use and experience the public domain and to what degree we can claim ownership over it, discussing notions of inclusion, becoming and belonging.
