On Thursday 23 October, +1 brings the extraordinary Molly Lewis to Salon İKSV for a performance that promises to be unlike anything else on the season’s calendar. Known worldwide for transforming the art of whistling into a mesmerizing and cinematic form of music, Molly Lewis offers audiences the chance to experience sound in its most delicate and transportive form. Tickets are available via Passo.
Born in Sydney and now based in Los Angeles, Molly Lewis has taken whistling far beyond novelty, reimagining it as a centerpiece for atmospheric and emotionally charged performance. Her music calls back to the lush worlds of Spaghetti Westerns, smoky jazz lounges, and Brazilian bossa nova, while simultaneously feeling contemporary and transportive.
Her reputation first began to grow through intimate live sets in LA, where audiences were struck not only by the beauty of her tone but by her ability to conjure entire moods with nothing more than a whistle and carefully placed accompaniment. That distinctive gift quickly caught the attention of artists and producers across genres. Molly has since collaborated with figures as varied as Dr. Dre, Karen O, and Mark Ronson, lending her sound to recordings and film projects that highlight the rare adaptability of her craft.
In 2022 she released her debut album On the Lips, a project that cemented her as much more than a performer with a unique talent. The record showcased her ear for melody and her cinematic imagination, evoking everything from sun-drenched beaches to midnight noir atmospheres. The result was a critical success, positioning Molly Lewis as one of the most original and unconventional voices in modern music.
For her Istanbul debut at Salon İKSV, Molly Lewis invites the audience into her evocative world, where sound and silence blur together to create something timeless, intimate, and entirely new.
