Join me on this three dimensional binaural ambience walk in Istanbul, Turkey. In nice weather you'll walk from the metro station to the Grand Bazaar, one of the largest and oldest markets in the world - it covers 61 streets and over 4.000 shops. Along the way you'll percieve the busy street ambience and the calls to prayer in 3D audio. For this soundwalk, the use of headphones is recommended for the best listening experience. This way you get the feeling of really being immersed in the atmosphere. Enjoy!
My personal favourite moments during the walk are at:
02:45
You can hear the tarp banging against the scaffold, the muslim prayers (which are 5 times a day) begin and various people and vehicles passing which results in a really good spatial perception
03:47
Shortly after you get surpassed by two moto drivers and a guy closes a gate really close to the right behind you
09:38
A lot of people surrounding you which results in a dense atmosphere. Some moto drivers try to pass through the group of people
20:40
The ambience is a completely different due to the specific acoustical characteristics from inside the Bazar
27:46
A guy is singing next to your left ear
Süleymaniye Mosque Morning Walk at Sunrise in Istanbul, Turkey. I was lucky enough and got the opportunity to spend a few months traveling the beautiful country of Turkey. The Süleymaniye Mosque is located on the Third Hill of Istanbul, Turkey and one of the most beautiful structures on Earth. It's is one of the most important structures from the Ottoman era. The Süleymaniye Mosque started it's construction in 1550 and ended in 1557.
Süleymaniye Mosque is the largest and most magnificent mosque of the city, built by Mimar Sinan, located in the district of the same name in Istanbul. The most important example of classical Ottoman architecture. Completed in 1557, the mosque has suffered countless earthquakes ever since, but no cracks have formed on one of its walls. Simple but technically rich in terms of decoration ... The mosque was built in accordance with the air flow to clean the oil works inside.
Minarets and domes adorn the silhouette of Istanbul. It fascinates by watching its external and internal aesthetics, exceptionally uniform, eye-catching proportions. Suleymaniye Mosque is an architectural masterpiece. It is a period in which the 16th century Ottoman Empire developed and advanced in every respect. Among the 36 Ottoman Sultans, the longest reigning with 47 years is Suleiman the Magnificent. This famous Sultan had referred to the mosque Koca Mimar Sinan to be built on his behalf. Mimar Sinan, a genius of the architectural world, completed the mosque and the large complex surrounding it between 1550-1557. Mimar Sinan, the founder and developer of the classical period of Turkish art, proved the superiority of his art here. The large complex surrounding the courtyard of the mosque includes schools, a library, a bathhouse, a soup kitchen, a caravanserai, a hospital and shops. It is necessary to be away from the building in order to watch the outer beauty of Süleymaniye. From the Galata Tower or the Galata section of the Golden Horn, this imperial work can be seen with all its majesty. A large dome covers the main space of the mosque, which has four minarets. The main entrance of the mosque is surrounded by porches, with an inner courtyard in the middle. The openness, integrity and measured decoration in the interior strengthens the majestic effect of this place. The height of 53 meters is 26.50 m. The central dome in diameter carries four large pillars called elephant feet. All the elements of the space are in harmony. In terms of static, the balance of the structure is perfect. Earthquakes that shook the city of Istanbul in time did not cause a single crack here. The interior of the dome is a baroque-effect decoration made in the last century.
