Zusammenschnitt einer ursprünglichen 74 minütigen Cassetten-Aufnahme.

Yerebatan Saray ist eine Zisterne - der Wasserspeicher des Sultan-Palasts in Istanbul.

Live recording in the Yerebatan Sarayı, a water cistern in Istanbul, presumably late '93/early '94. The recording captures an on-site avant-garde performance involving a cello and 2 vocalists (male and female), reciting poetry, very dark. During the performance I slowly moved with the audio recorder through the cistern, sometimes being close to the artists, sometimes far away, capturing the huge natural reverb, and the water flowing from the ceiling.

Generell geht es um Elend, Trauer und Tod.

"Toprak ve derya birdir burda": "Erde und Meer sind an diesem Ort vereint." "Ak düşmeden daha sakalına ölüm gelir: Der Tod kommt, obwohl noch kein Grau im Bart vorhanden ist." "Ölü ruhlar denizde yüzen balıklar gibidir: Die Seelen der Toten sind wie verlorene fische im meer."
