On Moon in Gemini, Isik Kural attuned to natural world textures
“I thought it could be interesting to use field recordings as representations of different natural events. The field recording in ‘Interlude’ is actually the wind around the Wallace Monument in Stirling… it is mimicking the sound of the waves. At the end of ‘Stems of Water,’ recordings sprinklers in the garden in Amasya mimic a waterfall mentioned in the lyrics.”
In making his latest album, Isik Kural attuned to natural world textures, many found around his birthplace of Istanbul, and paired them with more vocal focal songwriting. Moon in Gemini was released on September 9, 2024, marking Isik’s second length record with RVNG.
