"ARMonic" is an improvised performance by Görkem Arıkan. It is performed with a self-made gesture-based system which gives the ability to shape prepared materials as well as live-samplings in real time. An intimate relationship between the computer and body is aimed, in terms of being able to establish a developing relationship with the system, in which they merge together and become an idiosyncratic musical instrument.

Playing Foreskin Sashimi w/ Gökay Atabek 

at Dünya Atay’s exhibition 

at Poortgebouw, Rotterdam.

Foreskin Sashimi: In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of the soy sauce with the lime and orange juices. In a medium bowl, toss the foreskin with the remaining 1/4 cup of soy sauce and let stand for 1 minute, then drain. Arrange 3 slices of foreskin on each plate and top with the ginger and chives. ** In a small saucepan, heat the grapeseed oil with the sesame oil over moderately high heat until smoking, about 2 minutes. Drizzle the hot oil over the foreskin pieces. Spoon the soy-citrus sauce on top. Sprinkle with the roasted sesame seeds and cilantro leaves and serve.

a minute of improvisation with my motion-sensing interface gives the ability to shape recorded materials as well as live-samplings in real time.

Transynch

Artist On Board (SUPA, 2016, Istanbul) work: “Transynch" - sound installation in collaboration with Çağrı Erdem.

Transynch is an interactive sound installation that is diffused through 4 rotating speakers, 1 plate transducer hanging from the ceiling, and a fixed 2+1 sound system. Speaker rotations are adjusted by the amount of sunlight, via 4 light dependent resistors placed outdoor towards 4 cardinal directions. Each speaker starts to rotate by the dawn and constantly alters its speed throughout the dusk. Sound material is recorded on the board of Greenpeace’s reputed ship, Rainbow Warrior, where the shipboard and additional materials such as cymbals, plates and dc motors are utilized for sonic variety. Independently rotating speakers in different heights are to generate a dynamic acousmonium experience that is dependent on the daylight.

the first and last prototype of my prepared chair records the squeaks through a contact mic and then scrubs it by the movements. a simple Pd patch running inside a Bela, captures the motion through an orientation sensor. power and speaker units are mounted on the chair, free ride!
