In the Istanbul’s Unusual Sounds session of the workshop series What Does the City Tell Us? we will focus on the various sounds of the city. In the normal course of our lives, there are sounds we hear but don’t pay attention to, sounds we don’t even notice, or even those we notice and that bother us. In this workshop, we will dive into these sounds and give them new meanings. After this, we will put together an orchestra and perform a composition bringing together these unusual sounds of the city using a creative tool known as soundpainting which draws on sign language. The workshop will be led by soundpainting practitioner Burcu Yılmaz, who will be accompanied by musician Orhan Deniz on bass clarinet.
