Istanbul based multi-instrumentalist Umut Çağlar founded the Turkish free jazz band Konstrukt at the beginning of 2008. Since then the band went through many line-up changes and collaborated with the likes of Peter Brötzmann, Joe McPhee, William Parker, and Keiji Haino, continuously evolving its sound. The band is currently formed by Çağlar, Korhan Futacı, Apostolos Sideris, Erdem Göymen, and Berkan Tilavel and Oryantal -- recorded at Hayyam Studio in Istanbul in 2017 with two drummers and a double bass player on board -- shows a more melodic and groovy side of the band. The session explores their rhythmic roots with the use of traditional instruments such as bendirs, tefs, and double reeds, trying to carry these sounds to the future with the help of electronics. Edition of 300.
