James Basdanis - Solo Project
"When Sound Becomes a Soundscape"

Greek composer and musician May Roosevelt, an expert on the theremin, one of the earliest electronic instruments, joins forces with Mechanimal, a local industrial audiovisual creative group, at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center's (SNFCC) Labyrinth venue at 9 p.m. on Thursday, September 12.

From the typical shouts of the simit sellers perched on their corners to the nostalgic carriages of the Prince's Islands off Istanbul's Marmara coast, Koç University's Research Center for Anatolian Civilizations (ANAMED) is offering its visitors a chance to explore the everyday sounds of Istanbul often lost to the listener through repetition or reflexive noise reduction.
