This music is slithering and shaking with life. (Monsieur Delire, François Couture, Canada, sept. 2011)

May 2010 multi-flutist Mark Alban Lotz had the opportunity to record and perform with some of the great exponents of the improvising scene in Istanbul.

Out of this came two albums: CD 'istanbul improv sessions may 4'th' features recordings with the improvising ensemble ıslak köpek. This album is released on Evil Rabbit Records september 2011.

CD 'istanbul improv sessions may 5'th' documents an encounter in free improvisation with Çağlar, Uygan, Florent, Hays and Toisoul in duets, trios, quartets and collectives. Released April 2011 at LopLop Records &amp; re:konstruKt.

• "Sound is captured and manifested into startling shapes and becomes not only a harbinger of the essence of this record but also the messenger of the power of invention". (All About Jazz, Jerry D'Souza)
• "Lotz'collaborators all come from the Istanbul improvisation scene which, on the evidence of this album, seems to be full of invention, ability and humor. The music on Istanbul Improv Sessions May 5th has impressive depth and richness." (All About Jazz, Bruce Lindsay)
• "Istanbul Improv Sessions May 5th is an imaginative, surprisingly accessible and masterful demonstration of truly adventurous musical minds." (All About Jazz, Eyal Hareuveni)
