Alev Lenz plays her new self-released album
4 in a Cycle of Thirds
in London pop-up shop every Tuesday
German-Turkish singer and composer Alev Lenz self-released her new album 4 in a Cycle of Thirds in January, a mesmerising and varied marriage of songform and compositional architecture.
She now offers in-person playback of the album in full at central London location, fostering connection, interaction, and conversation.
Alev writes:
"I was wondering and breaking my brain over how to directly reach my audience - the real people! How to introduce them to my music without algorithms, without paying cooperations with whose values I do not align. How to create something communal.
Just before my new album 4 in a Cycle of Thirds was released, in early January 2026, I held a listening party for my peers and press, and I set up my studio to look like a living room. I laid out books that inspired the record, exhibited artwork and photography from the recording process, and installed an introduction gallery featuring portraits of all the wonderful people who helped make the record.
I ended up loving the space so much that I wanted to open it as a listening session shop selling only one item - my record!
And while I was toying with these thoughts I stumbled across the work of Morioko Shoten.
This inspiration, and a couple of rejected collaboration proposals, made me wonder: can I do it myself? Or at least for myself. I have not yet used my space for myself a lot. So why not take space fully and proudly?
So. Here’s the shop! For now Tuesdays only, 10am-2pm:
At 73a Kingsland Road, London
At Alev Lenz Studio
Fostering connection! Interaction!
This is a product I can really tell whoever comes in a LOT about :)
My small analogue revolution.
Come hear the record. Chat. Sit."
