A profound musical package from the Dutch-Turkish artist, Okitap - Sis, is a cultural clash between his Turkish roots and his affinity for industrial, techno, gabber and earnest sonic exploration. EP opener Cicek Suyu plays out like Vangelis moved Blade Runner to Istanbul and replaced his Yamaha CS-80 with a Tulum, a traditional bagpipe known to Turkey. Its dense, dark and intimidating. Luring you in to listen closer. Track 2, Batarya haunts and engulfs, breathing down your neck as you press in closer to make out the whispers before Karsiyaka punches you in the face. A virulently potent 90s goth sludge groove featuring the slicing Okitap vocals that challenge you to listen up. The EPs closers Nefes Al and Sis lul you back out as you crawl away, a canvas for Okitaps transporting, cinematic sound design adeptness.
Nous'klaer Audio and Sound & Vision's RE:VIVE initiative have teamed up for the third and final ALBUM in their film scoring trilogy. The collaboration invites two musicians to compose for these archival films from the collection of Sound & Vision, the national media archive of the Netherlands. This final instalment features through and through Rotterdammer, Kems Kriol and the Amsterdam based Turkish composer, pianist and DJ Loradeniz. Kems Kriol accompanies the amateur documentary collage film ''Rotterdam in de Jaren 90'', a dark period of strife, economic and social crisis for the now booming metropolis, with the compassion and empathy of someone who experienced those years first-hand but with enough time removed to reflect with heart. Loradeniz angularly and precisely moves her way through the delicate film ''Tegenlicht'', a surprisingly colorful and fluid educational film about painting, a bold juxtaposition that propels the film into the 2020s.
