Loopworks

Discrepant presents Istanbul based audio/visual artist Koray Kantarcioglu’s follow-up to his debut album Loopworks (CREP59, 2018)
Whilst the first volume used 60’s and 70’s Turkish records as it source material, Loopworks 2 expands the sampling pool to local records as well as snippets from 70’s TV and 80’s new age and jazz tapes. This disparate material is mangled and glued together with Koray’s very personal sampling techniques
This result becomes a dreamy, haunted and enigmatic collection of floating vignettes. Koray also enlists the help of local musicians such as Ekin Fil, who contributed to the album with haunting vocals and sound textures as well as Berke Can Ozcan who adds drums and percussion into the haunted mix. The LP comes with a bonus CD entitled ‘Loopworks 2 Extras’, that could be another album itself, created from extra material that couldn’t make it to the LP. Composed in 2020 and 2021
