ABOUT SONIC CARTOGRAPHIES:
Sonic Cartographies is an evolving performance series that began in the San Francisco Bay Area and now unfolds simultaneously in Istanbul, Berlin, and Strasbourg. Initiated by Eda Er, the series creates a shared space for dialogue and collaboration across geographies.

The Istanbul edition continues the practice of mapping sonic territories through solos, duos, trios, quartets, and tutti improvisations. Throughout this process, visual scores are exchanged between artists in different cities, creating connections across locations and weaving a collective sonic map. The program emphasizes balance, dialogue, and shifting performer constellations—bringing individual voices together into a shared sonic landscape.

In Istanbul, the series is curated by Aslı Kobaner, reflecting the city’s experimental spirit and collaborative ethos.

Sonic Cartographies, San Francisco Körfez Bölgesi’nde başlayan ve bugün İstanbul, Berlin ve Strasbourg’da eşzamanlı olarak devam eden, sürekli gelişen bir performans serisidir. Eda Er tarafından başlatılan bu seri, farklı coğrafyalar arasında diyalog ve işbirliği için ortak bir alan yaratıyor.

Program; dengeyi, diyaloğu ve değişen müzisyen birlikteliklerini ön plana çıkararak, bireysel sesleri ortak bir ses manzarasında buluşturuyor.
