Profile Information

Do you want this account to represent:: individual human (me)

First Name (Required: even if you are representing an organization you must use your name): Korhan

Last Name (Family Name): Erel

About Me (human/individual)/interests, work..short bio/ THis is the most important. It is the only way to know that you are not a SPAMBOT!Be generous!: Turkish composer / improviser based in Istanbul, Turkey. He is a founding member of Islak Köpek, Turkey’s pioneer free improvisation group. He performed and had compositions played in radios, festivals in Turkey, Austria, Australia, Holland, Germany, Finland, Ireland, the UK, Russia and Israel. He performed telematic concerts over Skype in Germany, Spain and the US (New Mexico)

Korhan approaches computer performances from a conventional instrument approach. He refrains from using many sound layers and frequency ranges in order to leave space for acoustic and electric instruments he plays with. He also plays melodica and Cracklebox in ensemble performances. For his solo performances, he augments the computer with other sound sources, such as analog electronics (modular synths, guitar effects, oscillators, digital effects). He plays his computer instruments similar to a conventional instrument player - the laptop is the “sound body” and the “resonators”, the controllers are the “exciters”. The screen is occasionally used for monitoring software status and is not used as a part of the performance, thus avoiding the typical look of the laptop musician, staring at the screen all throughout a performance. He uses Wiimotes and a iPod Touch as the “fretboards” for his instruments.

Korhan was twice an artist-in-residence at STEIM in Amsterdam on sensors and instrument design.

Korhan’s compositions blend industrial sounds, found sounds, abstract sound textures and acoustic instruments into sound collages. He is currently working on new instrument designs on Audiomulch and Ableton Live that will enable him to create instant compositions and sound collages for solo and group performances as well as playing with dancers, video artists. One such project is called Ses Duvari, a collaboration with video artist Ilknur Büyükberber.
