The Istanbul-based collective, guguou, announce their first album, 'Pas Matri', set for release by Shalgam Records.

The Istanbul-based collective, ha za vu zu, crafted their artistic mode of expression through situational aesthetics and performative gesture, often incorporating music among many elements.

The collective has since spawned another grouping, guguou, where music plays the lead role. guguou was founded after GüneoeŸ Terkol was invited to the Sao Paulo Biennale in 2017. Terkol was already performing with Güçlü Oztekin, and for the performance in Sao Paulo, they were joined by OaŸuz Erdin on acoustic/electronic drums and sound processing.

The three have been collaborating for the last four years at their home studio. gugugou draws on the forms, techniques and the strategies of experimental pop music. They utilize electronic tools to manipulate sound and vocals, experimenting with, or stretching popular forms, as well as processed sounds, low technology, electro acoustics, repetition and highly rhythmic music, accompanied by short and simple idiosyncratic vocalism. While the lyrics derive from every day encounters, meticulously rehearsed music performances are born from collective improvisations.

Pas Matri is the product of this interdisciplinary nature of their practice, of their range across an array of different mediums. They decided to record the album in late 2018, also using various material from old recordings.

The album was recorded between 2017 and 2019, mixed by OaŸuz Erdin and mastered by Barka±n Engin. Musicians such as Bora áeliker (guitar), Emre Akçora (saxophone) and Bulut áavaoeŸ (santoor) feature with guguou on some tracks.
