Dream Works is an experimental music ensemble that is part of a long-term documentary project focusing on the relationships between dreams, improvisation and film. In this group, which includes leading names of the improvisation music scene in Istanbul, the selected dreams of the musicians were composed by Tarabya-Alumni Anıl Eraslan and structured as improvisations. The first Dream Works album, which transforms the effects of Ottoman-Turkish music, free improvisation and electro-acoustic music into a unique collage, was released in September 2022 by Rumi Sounds in Berlin. On March 17th Dream Works will present its new album at Borusan Music House.
