Pera Museum invites you to explore other areas where electronic music interacts with its talk and performance series titled “Electronic Bridges”!
"Electronic Bridges," a collaboration with the Istanbul-based music collective ÆVOM, focuses on various issues and areas that electronic music fosters and interacts with, including technology, literature, cinema, the environment, psychology, sociology, computer games, politics, urban transformation, nature, and philosophy. In the February event of the series, Sühan Gürer and İz (Elifnaz Koçak) will introduce the Islamic face of electronic music to music lovers.
Alternative is a frequently used word today, and music is also affected by this. One of the few names within the broad spectrum of music that truly deserves this description is Muslimgauze, a figure of alternative and dissident nature in every sense. Following a talk exploring how Muslimgauze's experimental musical life, which began with a naive outburst, evolved into a project that voiced the problems and injustices of the Muslim world at the time, İz (Elifnaz Koçak), a prominent figure in the local scene, takes his place in the DJ booth.

In the harems of Ottoman palaces and mansions, coffee was served with ceremony. First, a dessert (jam) was served in a silver dessert set, followed by the coffee service. The coffee jug was placed on a stile made of tombac, silver, or brass, with a burning ember in the center, and carried by three chains attached to its edges. The stile cover was round, made of satin or velvet, and embroidered with gold, glitter, sequins, and even pearls and diamonds.
The story begins in 1709, when King Charles XII of Sweden sought refuge in the Ottoman Empire while fleeing from Tsar Peter of Russia. Sweden fell into debt to the Ottomans, and at the same time, the Ottomans made a strategic shift and began sending ambassadors to Europe.
