Tophane Noise Band featuring Berke Can Özcan & Rana Uludağ
Tophane Noise Band feeds essentially on the waste of Tophane and cities. Both the materials they find and the materials they tirelessly store are their main source of nourishment and inspiration. Walking on a tightrope stretched between noise and silence is one of their favorite things to do, even if they fall, they don’t get discouraged and listen and imitate the sound of the fall. Does it count as noise when a truck loaded with dozens of objects designed to make noise passes a music school at full speed, honking its horn? After all, everything is noise compared to silence. As part of the 34th Akbank Jazz Festival, Tophane Noise Band will perform at Alan Kadıköy on October 1. The band will be accompanied by musician, performance artist, producer, composer, and instrument maker Berke Can Özcan and Palmiyeler drummer Rana Uludağ.
