Electroacoustic Live Performance
September 27, 2019 / 20:00
Pera Museum’s new talk and performance series 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.
Opened by Assoc. Prof. İlke Boran with a talk on the birth of electronic music, the series will continue with a DJ performance by Fulya Uçanok, reflecting her interpretation of the theme.
The performance will take place at Pera Café. Free admission; drop in. No reservation, limited seats.
Fulya Uçanok has a bachelor degree from the Department of Piano at Hacettepe University Ankara State Conservatory, and a master’s from the piano program at Istanbul Technical University’s Centre for Advanced Studies in Music (ITU MIAM). Following the master’s diploma, she went to Bali, Indonesia with Darmasiswa, an Indonesian government grant for her gamelan studies. There, she studied the “Gender Wayang” gamelan tradition for one and a half year. Next stop on her academic path was enrolling in the Sonic Arts doctorate program at ITU MIAM where she studied electroacoustic composition and performance. She is a member of Klank.ist impro, a band of Istanbul-based musicians engaging in free improvisation and interdisciplinary works.
Her current areas of interest include pluralism in electroacoustic composition and performance, how to make accessible-but-not-popular music, the “in between” mechanisms and the ways to eliminate mutual power dynamics. Uçanok, ITU MIAM currently studies for a PhD degree in Sonic Arts and works as research assistant at the Department of Music of Istanbul Bilgi University.

Inspired by its Anatolian Weights and Measures Collection, Pera Museum presents a contemporary video installation titled For All the Time, for All the Sad Stones at the gallery that hosts the Collection. The installation by the artist Nicola Lorini takes its starting point from recent events, in particular the calculation of the hypothetical mass of the Internet and the weight lost by the model of the kilogram and its consequent redefinition, and traces a non-linear voyage through the Collection.
Martín Zapater y Clavería, born in Zaragoza on November 12th 1747, came from a family of modest merchants and was taken in to live with a well-to-do aunt, Juana Faguás, and her daughter, Joaquina de Alduy. He studied with Goya in the Escuelas Pías school in Zaragoza from 1752 to 1757 and a friendship arose between them which was to last until the death of Zapater in 1803.
Józef Brandt harboured a fascination for the history of 17th century Poland, and his favourite themes included ballistic scenes and genre scenes before and after the battle proper –all and sundry marches, returns, supply trains, billets and encampments, patrols, and similar motifs illustrating the drudgery of warfare outside of its culminating moments.
