Gaye Su Akyol - WakeUp Works Presents

Gaye Su Akyol

“This album was marked by the awakening of a mythological dragon from the deep sleep of Anatolian history, with the simultaneous transformation of many cells waiting in its cave into an organism. A collective movement of only care against pure evil, a recurring resistance to a truth that teaches everyone to be their own superhero, a trip with a submarine convoy in the ocean of memory of the culture whose memory has been stolen. A "counter truth" fiction in response to the question of "how would it be otherwise?" of destroyed cities and cultures that were tried to be destroyed along with the city, of cultures that were crushed and crumbled, of an intertwined journey, of a question that cannot be discussed or matured and that rises from hiding. A b-movie of adventure genres that wanders among the sounds and cultures of Anatolia that are on the brink of extinction. It is a powerful state of self-creation that is passionately and freely possible for women and LGBTQi+ people, including their passions, falling in love, and their relationships in a political climate where embracing their sexual identities is revolutionary enough. A sonic expansion and invention, a juxtaposition where unpredictable sounds, words and concepts mix and dance in new forms.
