London-based Artist Y Bülbül and Istanbul-based percussionist, Yumurta’s album Not One, Not Two is a free-form work merging ambient, dub, and kosmische music. The artists’ collaboration spanned their respective continents, working to create a speculative, chaotic, and fragile sound that highlights the exchange of ideas between the two synergistic individuals. The vinyl release from November features the track “A Large Room Full of People,” which includes fragments of bass, synths, and guitars set in industrial estates in the artists’ respective cities. The limited-edition LP is available with designs by Devin Shaffer.
