Electronic Crossovers
Electronic Music, Noise and Narrative
Başar Ünder

Pera Museum’s talk and performance series Electronic Crossovers invites you to explore the fields that interact with electronic music!

A fruit of collaboration with Istanbul-based musical collective ÆVOM, “Electronic Crossovers” looks at a range of fields and disciplines that feed on and interact with electronic music, technology, literature, cinema, environment, psychology, sociology, computer games, politics, urban transformation, nature and philosophy to name a few. The December event of the series will feature Başar Ünder covering electronic music, noise and narrative.

In his presentation, the artist discusses the conceptual themes and methods that underlie his artistic production in light of interactions with fields like games and movies. Musicologist Ümit Üret, who works on independent music, noise and politics, will deliver a presentation and a live DJ performance.
