On May 3 and 4, Kulturakademie Tarabya alumnus Ignaz Schick will present his durational concert installation Istanbul Diaries at the Orient Institut Istanbul.

Istanbul Diaries is based on Ignaz Schick’s research he conducted during his 2018-2023 residencies at Kulturakadmie Tarabya, a research about how the
megalopolis sounds.
This durational concert installation of about 4 hours length combines sound and video installations, graphic/video scores, field recordings, ensemble conductions and small group improvisations involving 7 important experimental/contemporary musicians and protagonists of the vivid Istanbul music scene. Like this, a unique sonic mapping and portrait of this special city is created in a marathon like setting.

Supported by the Alumni Fonds of the Tarabya Cultural Academy, Istanbul Diaries is realized by Ignaz Schick together with Sevket Akinçi, Oguz Büyükberber, Anil Eraslan, Ulrich Mertin, Merve Salgar, Amy Salsgiver and Fulya Uçanok.

Istanbul Diaries is a co-production of Zangi Music/Zarek Berlin, the Orient Institut Istanbul & the Kulturakademie Tarabya.
