| Anabala is a multidisciplinary project concentrating on the sounds and cultures of Istanbul. Murat Ertel ("mostly a musician") and Ceren Oykut, ("mostly a painter") work as a duo, each transferring their artistic concentration onto the other. They create multi-disciplinary pieces and draw on aspects of humour, parody and surprise as foundational elements in their performances. Anabala takes its name from a passage in central Istanbul. Throughout a month period in 2002, they recorded and made sounds all day at a shop in this passage and mixed them by night. Ultimately, they used all these mixes to compose their first album, a song which appeared in "ctrl-alt-del" (Istanbul -Maastricht, 2003). Anabala performed for the exhibition "Walking Istanbul, Notes from the Quarantine" and for "Trans_European Picnic: The Art and Media of Accession" hosted by V2_ Institute for the Unstable Media and kuda.org in Novi Sad, Open Studio Cairo through NOMAD. Anabala has also stared to collaborate with musicians, sound-artists and visual artists from Cologne, Germany and formed another group called K34 - Cologne -Istanbul Cultural Exchange Project.
