Art&#38;amp;House Listening Sessions 
- Soups &#38;amp; Sounds -

Listening sessions are small, intimate gatherings that I am hosting regularly, dedicated to hearing albums in full. We slow down, listen with presence, and allow the music to unfold as a shared experience. 
Each album comes with a soup, paired to the mood of the music.







13.04.2026 - Listening Session #7


&#60;img src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/2c/Stevemcqueen.jpg" style="border: 8px solid white; box-shadow: 0px 4px 12px rgba(0,0,0,0.25);"&#62;




Prefab Sprout - Steve McQueen (1985)

Soup pairing for the album: Brussel Sprouts Soup

Another special evening with good music and company. 
There was a shared appreciation in the room for how clean and beautifully produced this album is (check out the producer, Thomas Dolby). What stood out to everyone was the honesty and vulnerability in the lyrics, but also their humour. This balance seems to be part of what makes this album quietly powerful. 
For me, it’s also the unusual song structures, the little twists in each track, the tasteful use of synths, and of course the passionate voice of Paddy McAloon that make it so rewarding to return to. Bonny and When Love Breaks Down remain my personal highlights, with their emotional weight while staying incredibly elegant in their melody and arrangement. Moving the River is another one I like, especially in how it reflects the struggle of keeping creative standards high.

I know I’ll come back to this album again, and I hope you will too, whether on a quiet evening when you are feeling down or when you are simply out for a bit of horsing around.



30.03.2026 - Listening Session #6


&#60;img src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/e8/Esthero_-_Breath_From_Another.jpg" style="border: 8px solid white; box-shadow: 0px 4px 12px rgba(0,0,0,0.25);"&#62;


Esthero - Breath From Another (1998)

Soup pairing for the album: Mushroom &#38;amp; Chestnut Soup

Thanks to all who managed to join. As an album that has many different flavours, we moved from genre to genre with each track. When the second half of the album settled in, it set the tone for the night: Like a late-night drive through the city with someone close, where the world softens, time slows down, and you simply exist in that calm and quietly connected moment. 

The tracks Lounge and Superheroes remain to be my favourites. I also loved seeing how Country Livin’ (The World I Know) appealed to many of you.  For me personally, there was a lot of joy in turning this album (one that I only discovered myself quite recently) into something shared.
 

16.03.2026 - Listening Session #5

&#60;img src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/14/Inrainbowscover.png" data-scale="100" style="border: 8px solid white; box-shadow: 0px 4px 12px rgba(0,0,0,0.25);"&#62;




Radiohead - In Rainbows (2007)

Soup pairing for the album: Parsnip &#38;amp; Pear Soup


Thanks to those who managed to attend to listen to this wonderful album together. It is great to see these gatherings taking shape, with familiar faces coming back, new ones joining each time and a shared space is forming around music &#38;amp; conversation (and soup).

In Rainbows is an authentic album that has been in my library since a while. Weird Fishes / Arpeggi is still my favorite track, however Jigsaw Falling Into Place had even bigger impact on me yesterday. 






09.02.2026 - Listening Session #4





&#60;img src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a2/Beach_House_-_Bloom.png" style="border: 8px solid white; box-shadow: 0px 4px 12px rgba(0,0,0,0.25);"&#62;



Beach House - Bloom (2012)

Soup pairing for the album: Potato, Leek &#38;amp; Corn Chowder


Another wonderful listening session in this series.&#38;nbsp;Bloom diffused beautifully through the room. The soup warmed us up, as we were sinking into layered synths and tremolo guitars that seemed to vibrate through the skin, together with the intimate lyrics. 
Personally, Wishes and On the Sea lingered with me long after the album, and it was lovely to see how many of you connected with Other People (pun intended). A moving album, and an even more moving evening. Thank you for being part of it.&#38;nbsp;




26.01.2026 - Listening Session #3



&#60;img src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/60/Cocteau_Twins%E2%80%94Heaven_or_Las_Vegas.jpg" style="border: 8px solid white; box-shadow: 0px 4px 12px rgba(0,0,0,0.25);"&#62;


Cocteau Twins - Heaven or Las Vegas (1990)Soup pairing for the album: Cauliflower &#38;amp; White Chocolate Soup
Thanks to everyone who joined Heaven or Las Vegas listening session. I really enjoy how these evenings are evolving. It feels like we are building a shared space that people can keep returning to.

It was beautiful to watch the shift from trying to decipher the lyrics to simply letting Elizabeth Fraser’s voice wash over the room as pure sound. What I loved most was that everyone seemed to walk away with a different favorite track, a good sign of how balanced and personal this album is. 

For me personally, Fifty-Fifty Clown was the song that first made me notice Cocteau Twins years ago. More recently I found myself falling more for Road, River and Rail. And for those who want to dive deeper, Treasure (1984) remains another very special Cocteau Twins album worth spending time with.

12.01.2026 - Listening Session #2

&#60;img src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/e9/Massive_Attack_-_Mezzanine.png" data-scale="100" style="border: 8px solid white; box-shadow: 0px 4px 12px rgba(0,0,0,0.25);"&#62;
Massive Attack - Mezzanine (1997)

Soup pairing for the album: Beluga Lentils &#38;amp; Mushroom Soup

Thanks to all who managed to join on Monday to listen to Mezzanine by Massive Attack. I’m still carrying the atmosphere of the night with me. It meant a lot to see how much openness, curiosity, and presence everyone brought with them.

One small personal note: Group Four remains my favorite track on Mezzanine. I love its tribal undercurrent and the way it slowly builds tension and release. If you feel like revisiting the album, I highly recommend giving that track (or the whole album) another listen with headphones to explore its depths.






15.12.2025 - Listening Session #1



&#60;img src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/e4/Jeff_Buckley_grace.jpg" style="border: 8px solid white; box-shadow: 0px 4px 12px rgba(0,0,0,0.25);"&#62;

Jeff Buckley - Grace (1994)

Soup pairing for the album: Pumpkin &#38;amp; Ginger Soup

The first listening session of this series felt exactly like what I had hoped for: a cozy group, a shared soup, deep listening, and reflections that went far beyond the album itself. Thanks to everyone who came and helped create such a calm and delightful atmosphere.

Grace revealed itself once again as an incredibly rich and vulnerable album. If you feel like returning to it on your own time, I personally recommend revisiting the song Dream Brother. It stayed with me after the evening, both musically and emotionally.

Art &#38;amp; House

In October 2024 together with my brother Suha Arda Soykan, we started a new project:&#38;nbsp;Art &#38;amp; House. We join our efforts to create a vibrant event where art exhibition meets house music. Our kick off event took place in 1 November 2024, at Engelnest - Einkeller in Berlin.
&#60;img width="1363" height="1855" width_o="1363" height_o="1855" src_o="https://cortex.persona.co/t/original/i/d5d1fba2e879a5a72892825150c6e160c7e2badcb8590cddb30ed5b8144b76a9/8DB7B013-FC74-4DFD-808E-799A2EB3F6D5.jpeg" data-mid="1384851" border="0" data-scale="40"/&#62;&#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp;artwork by Suha Arda Soykan

Here are my dj-sets from Art &#38;amp; House, volume 1:


In this first set I tried to capture the essence of Arda’s art with somewhat futuristic &#38;amp; industrial electronic sounds.





In the follow-up dj-set I created a fusion fiesta, mixing house music from various parts of the world, extending from Andalucia all the way to Balkans and down to Africa. 








Here is a link to my photography exhibition from the same event:&#38;nbsp;

Eternal Embrace
This series of photographs invites you to witness the quiet, intimate moments shared between people beneath the Berlin Cathedral (Berliner Dom).
 

For years, I have returned to the gardens in front of the Dom, drawn to the serenity that unfolds in this public, yet private space. It is a place where people sit together—some in silent reflection, others deep in conversation or tenderly embracing. Each person, each couple, each friendship resonates with a quiet energy in the shadow of the cathedral’s grand architecture. Whether seated on the grass or a bench, their gazes always return to the majestic facade of the Dom, creating a silent dialogue between the fleeting and the eternal.


I invite you to pause, reflect, and feel the tranquility and quiet energy of this place, as though you, too, are part of these shared moments of intimacy and reverence.

Berlin Night Walks

This series invites you to Berlin’s nighttime streets, where shopfronts, cafes, restaurants and other public spaces stand still in their after-hours calm. Vibrant lights and colors illuminate the scenes that are both tranquil and contemplative.

Intimacy of the Ordinary

This series captures ordinary yet profound moments, offering glimpses into the intimacy of everyday life across diverse locations around the world. Each photograph delves into the relationship between people and their surroundings, where sunlight and shadows intertwine to elevate the spirituality of the scene. Through these images, I invite the viewer to reflect on the beauty of human connection and discover the extraordinary within the ordinary, celebrating the quiet poetry of life's passing moments.
