A chance discovery of a review by Istanbul-based music critic Alexandra Ivanoff of the concert with pianist / composer Tolga Tüzün at Borusan Music House, Istanbul on January 13, 2012:

“Tüzün and Erel’s voyage

On Jan. 13, two Turkish musicians, pianist Tolga Tüzün and electronic composer Korhan Erel, virtually continued the journey for us at Borusan Music House. Their program, “Satırarası” (Between the Lines), was not directly connected to the Esbjerg Ensemble’s program, but it seemed to pick up where the Danish group left off. They ventured into another cosmos with a totally improvised hour-long soundscape that, on one hand, felt like organized chaos, but on the other, an exquisite, unpredictable voyage that defied description. We needed to forget any expectation of formulas we knew and just go with the flow. It was the stuff of dreams — both nightmares and blissful visions — and definitely an extension of present musical reality and a suspension of time and space.”

This concert was a signal of the release of our album Superimposed Circumstances which is available as an electronic download on many online music stores including iTunes, Amazon, CDBaby, etc.
