bohemian drips presents: Marika
Cat-#: BD002 | Formats: Vinyl & Digital | Release date: August 7th 2015

“Marika” is an improvised free jazz trio from Istanbul, formed by Korhan Futacı (alto & tenor saxo- phones), Berke Can Özcan (drums) and Barlas Tan Özemek (bass). They play a unique kind of transcendent and always evolving music, converting nothing but basic human instincts into sonic pleasure. In 2014 “bohemian drips” invited them to work with the amazing acoustics of the old “Kindl” brewery’s “Sudhaus” (now “KINDL – Centre for Contemporary Art”) and its massive copper tanks in the middle of Berlin-Neukölln.
This LP was recorded live and in binaural audio with a binaural “KU-100” Kunstkopf microphone. Listening to these recordings on headphones gives you the threedimensional perspective of being seated literally in the center of the recording scenario. “bohemian drips presents: Marika” is the trio’s debut record.
Headphones recommended!

When we invited “Marika” in November 2014 to play at our concert series in Berlin, we had the opportunity to do a binaural recording session with them in a truely unique venue: the “Sudhaus” of the old “Kindl” brewery in Berlin-Neukölln, now the “KINDL – Centre for Contemporary Art”. The space contains six massive copper tanks, which not only provided a stunning scenery for the artists but also added an unique acoustic character to the recordings.
We knew the building would have brilliant acoustics for what we’re aiming for with our vinyl releases on bohemian drips: creating a special sonic experience for our listeners by capturing the interactions between musicians and architecture in “binaural” 3D audio.
