This Urban Songline (Water Score) is a commission and acquisition site-specifically developed as sound-. and video work for Borusan Contemporary / Perili Köşk translating the Bosporus and the building into music by playing the shape of it's waves crashing against the quay as a musical score played over the 7 layers of the tower. Individual symphonic segments are installed on viewing / listening stations on all levels of the tower to be cumulatively enjoyed from vinyl record in the top roof room overseeing the Bosporus that created this music.

Part of the project Urban Songlines, taking the tradition of the Songlines, a system for navigation and care-taking of their land among Aboriginal Australians, translated to mapping urban space by creating music from its topography, discussing how we use and experience the public domain and to what degree we can claim ownership over it.
