Chromatic Wednesdays is a monthly interdisciplinary event series based in Berlin, organized by visual artist and filmmaker Emre Birişmen and sound artist Melih Sarıgöl. The series brings together various artistic practices, including performance, sound, moving image, and panel discussions, in thematically structured programs at different venues across the city. 

Chromatic Wednesdays, which previously centered around the Apartment Project space in Neukölln, will transition to a mobile and decentralized structure for its upcoming fourth and fifth seasons. This shift aims to encourage stronger collaborations, emphasize site-specific thinking, and build new connections that reflect the social and cultural fabric of Berlin.

TUMULTUOUS

Musik Performances:
Trips & Findings
Music from Nowhere
Tumultuous sounds took the audience on a journey in this episode of Chromatic Wednesdays. They traversed places in musical, notebook-like observations, reflecting on the crosscultural connections of the globalized world. On their expedition, they crossed paths with eclectic sounds that symbolize the diversity of people and ideas coming together to fight for a common cause. They merged with the droning noise that reflects social and political upheaval, such as a protest against oppressive systems to call for change in the face of injustice. The concerts by Trips & Findings and Music from Nowhere incorporated elements of travel and exploration to bring the audience on a journey through unique sounds and improvisations of these landscapes.

Trips & Findings are the musical sketches of Sofia Borges’ travels. They show, as she says, «what I observe and forget, what I discover, lose and find again, what I listen to, what I touch, and what strikes me.» Sofia makes use of a distinguished sound palette including percussion instruments and electronics, complemented by a wide variety of everyday objects, tools, hardware, music boxes and toys, immersing the audience in the most diverse and unexpected sonic landscapes.

Originally from Portugal and based in Berlin, Sofia Borges is a sound artist who works solo and collaborates with noise makers, dance and theater artists. Her performances are characterized by a desire to explore, experiment and expand established languages through improvisations and original compositions with unconventional graphic notations. Her jazz toolkit encompasses music boxes, toys, orchestral percussion instruments, analog and digital electronic devices as well as field recordings that allow her to process her acoustic constructions.

Music From Nowhere is a duo project by Yurdal Çağlar and Peter Somos founded in 2020. Yurdal plays guitar, fretless guitar and oud and is accompanied by Peter with percussion. Their music embodies improvised rhythms and themes as well as modal variations that reflect today’s musical horizons across cultures and geographies.

Yurdal Çağlar is a guitarist (electric, fretless and nylon string guitars), composer, bassist, oudist and guitar teacher based in Berlin. He studied Jazz Guitar at the Yıldız Technical University, where he was also a lecturer between 2010 and 2018. Throughout his music career, he has played with leading names of the Turkish Jazz scene in a variety of genres. He has been involved in numerous projects and participated in festivals such as Istanbul Jazz Festival, Akbank Jazz Festival and Karneval der Kulturen Berlin. He released his solo albums «Fituyuca» in 2013 and «Nomad» in 2021 and a joint-album «Bahçe» with Çağrı Erdem in 2020.
Peter Somos, who grew up in Budapest and began working professionally as a musician at the age of 14, graduated summa cum laude in music from Codarts University for the Arts in Rotterdam. Throughout his career he has recorded and performed with artists such as Casey Benjamin, Mahesh Vinayakram, Nadishana, Sharrie Williams, Besh o droM and Krzysztof Scieranski. He has played at festivals such as Sziget in Budapest, Exit in Novi Sad, WOMADelaide in Adelaide, Jazz Jamboree in Warsaw, Südtirol Jazzfestival, JodhpurRIFF, Jazzfest Kolkata, Shanghai World Music, Jeju World Music Oreum and Dubai Blues Festival.
