ISLANDMAN Live

INSTAGRAM YOUTUBE SPOTIFY

Appearing on stage with an electro-acoustic storm, Islandman offers its audience a unique musical experience. Born from the imagination of producer Tolga Böyük, this trio combines the energy of live guitars with soft electronic textures and dance-inviting rhythms.

Islandman, who released their first single "Elegy" with the Danish record company Music for Dreams, made their voice heard in a geography extending from Cappadocia to Sunbeat Festival and Geneva Jazz Festival.

In Islandman's music, Anatolian melodies come together with electronic backgrounds, and this unique sound takes the listeners on a journey towards the unknown.

Islandman performs on stage as an electro-acoustic live trio format. Their music can be described as a unique mix of mellow electronic structures & dance beats with spacey live guitars, backed up by shamanic rhythms.

The mixing idea during the record sessions or in live performances is to bring Turkish Psychedelia or an African roots music reef together with a feeling of the electric universe. The power of the band comes from their perfect balance of electronic structures and acoustical harmonies.

Their first single ‘ Agit ‘ ( Requiem ) was also the piece that connected the band with the Danish label ‘ Music for Dreams‘. After the successful liftoff, the band released their first long play ‘ Rest in Space ‘ from the same label in 2017. The album hit the first place by the number of downloads in the following weeks in their respected genre.

In 2018 Islandman mostly focused on touring and had a successful tour including performances in Cappadox, Sunbeat Festival, Apple Flower Festival, Istanbul Jazz Festival, Monteux Jazz festival, and Boom Festival. The musical diversity of those festivals yet the selection including Islandman in their programme was a positive sign towards Tolga Boyuk’s dream of composing universal sounds.
