RAFAEL TORAL
Portuguese artist Rafael Toral is a producer, composer, and performer known for his explorations in avant-garde rock, electronic music, free jazz, and modular synthesizer improvisation—all genres unified by a common theme of spatial exploration. In the 1990s, working with electric guitar and electronics, he became recognized for creating guitar-driven drone music that embraced ambient and minimalist elements, often intersecting with post-rock and shoegaze.
In 2004, he dramatically changed his approach and launched what he describes as the "otherworldly" Space Program, utilizing experimental electronic instruments, including modular synthesizers, modified amplifiers, and electrode oscillators. Following the completion of the "Space Program" series, Toral entered a new phase of his career with the release of Moon Field in 2017. Reigniting his passion for harmony, he returned to the electric guitar and, in February 2024, released Spectral Evolution—a work marked by its experimental, sophisticated, emotionally resonant, and powerful synthesis. Named the second-best album of the year by The Wire magazine, this album will be presented to audiences at the Borusan Music House.
HACKEDEPICCIOTTO
hackedepicciotto, the founding member and bassist of the German industrial music collective Einstürzende Neubauten, emerged from the romantic criminal partnership of Alexander Hacke -the narrator of Fatih Akın’s “Crossing the Bridge: The Sound of Istanbul” documentary- and Danielle de Picciotto, a visual artist who co-founded the globally influential electronic music festival Love Parade and collaborated with German electronic musician Gudrun Gut. This project began with their collaboration on intricate audiovisual multimedia performances they conceived in Berlin in 2001. Over nearly two decades, they have released seven studio albums and engaged in countless creative interactions for international projects.
Their last three albums, released under the cult-status label Mute, navigate a sonic universe that oscillates between meteoric symphonies and dense drones, drawing from cinematic ambient music, dark jazz, industrial tones, and experimental approaches. In their live performances, they conjure roaring, vibrating, and existential acoustic soundscapes that shake their audiences -yet, at the same time, leave them profoundly exhilarated.
