Prelude started in the early 2000s among friends who worked together at Yapı Kredi, and for about fifteen years we played venues all over Istanbul. The pandemic forced us to stop, and when band members moved abroad the band was left unfinished. Six years later, in August 2026, we got together for the first time since and took the stage after a single night of rehearsal. Every recording here is from a live performance, warts and all. I play bass.
