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. In February, the series will have Sühan Gürer and İz (Elifnaz Koçak) presenting the Islamic face of electronic music to music fans.
Alternative is a widely popular word in our day, and music is no exception to it. Throughout the broad range of the music scene, Muslimgauze stands out as a genuine alternative and dissident, one of the few names that do justice to this definition. Following a talk on how Muslimgauze’s experimental music career, launched with a naive debut, evolved into a humanitarian protest and a project that speaks up for the problems and the injustice in the Muslim world, İz (Elifnaz Koçak) performs in the DJ booth.

Sühan Gürer’s debut as a music critic was in1997 through fanzines. In 2000, he started to publish articles and interviews on the Trendsetter magazine, followed by radio production at Dinamo FM; and went on to write for the LiveIndigo magazine in 2002, and Kese Kağıdı and Babylonist magazines in 2003. Later on, due to a busy schedule, he concentrated on his blog (Proodos) and his website Dinleme Parkı named after his radio show. In 2013, he stopped writing periodically.

Marcel Dzama’s connection to cinema forms the foundation of his entire work, from drawings to video pieces. The five films below stand out as key sources of inspiration that have shaped his narrative style.
A firm believer in the idea that a collection needs to be upheld at least by four generations and comparing this continuity to a relay race, Nahit Kabakcı began creating the Huma Kabakcı Collection from the 1980s onwards. Today, the collection can be considered one of the most important and outstanding examples among the rare, consciously created, and long-lasting ones of its kind in Turkey.
