iKKi Duo will perform a concert with cello, piano, objects and electronics at the Usmanbaş Hall on August 16th at MIAM, where iKKi Duo was born! Both musicians' current interests intersect in the free improvisation-sound-movement-play extension. These intersections reconsider the concept of "sonic bonding" (McNeill, 1995; Turino, 2008) from an experimental and playful perspective.
iKKi Duo members Zeynep Ayşe Hatipoğlu and Fulya Uçanok are performers, improvisers, composers and researchers. Both from a conservatory background, they were drawn to explore contemporary, experimental sound worlds. The duo crossed paths at Onebeat Istanbul residency program in 2016 and continued their work during their MIAM doctoral studies. Since 2019, the duo has been working with Klank.ist Ensemble (Aslı Kobaner, Eda Er, Fulya Uçanok, Zeynep Ayşe Hatipoğlu, Merve Salgar). iKKi Duo's album "Nine Stages of Not Arriving" (2023) was released on ADA Music Classic. Their second album "Wandering Rocks" (2023) was released by Sphyre Records.
In this concert, iKKi Duo will perform a free improvisational performance based on their intersecting interests. You are all invited!
