Sound Impressions of Istanbul 2015

12", 7" and book publication, cover signed and numbered by the artist, limited edition 17/250, private 2015

The album contains the artist’s book (hand folded) introduced and edited by Dr Mat Gregory. The folio book of interwoven leaves, threaded with images of the Bosporus, conceals fragments of re-told city soundscapes from the notebooks of musician Ekin Sanac and artist Lubaina Himid who respond to the evocative field recordings with text and voice, creating a new narrative layer.
