sesler yeniden bulusacaklar yari gerçek gökyüzüyle ve yeniden doga seyredecek bizleri sivri bulutlarinin arkasindan , yüzündeki eksi gülümsemesiyle ; ekilmis sesler vadisindeki hosnutlugumuzun pesinden...

“Cotton AV” görsel ve isitsel malzemenin "gerçek zamanli" sunumunu, lineer olmayan anlatim biçimlerine özgürlük taniyan, görüntülerin ve seslerin sunucularin tasviri ve insayatifiyle eslestirildigi, videoya yeniden üretim imkanlari taniyan, fotojenik ajanlarin ürettigi nese/hüzün/korku kaynaklari içerisinde gezinen politik, siirsel ve DEVINIMSEL bir video ve ses kollektifidir.

October 19th: Tuna Pase

Tuna Pase sadece müziğe aşık biri. Bir orkestra deliğinde duyduğu flüt sesiyle başlayan ilişkileri; Afrika müziği, klarnet, bateri, müzik işi gücü, akademisyenliğe bulaşmaya dayanan, hatta sonunda 'şarkı da söylemek istiyorum' diyen; ciddileşip etnomuzikolojiden ve ses tasarimina kadar eğitim alan-veren, yazan-çizen ve en önemlisi ilham alan bir süreç.

Sesler, doğa, şiir, doğaçlama, yemek- içmek, Hindistan, İstanbul, Kudüs,Moda, bisiklet, fotoğraf gibi kelimeler müziğin kaynağını oluşturan sebepler olabilir. Elektro-akustik kompoziyonlar doğaçlamalarla süslenir ve çalınır-dinlenir.

2006 yilindan itibaren olusturduğum elektro-akustik kompozisyonlar üzerine topanmış bu projenin ismi 'Mezarlıktan Diskotek Sesleri'. www.myspace.com/outoftunefortuna adresinden dinlenebilir.
