SoundLAB Special x Gehackte Orkest @ Muziekgebouw aan ’t IJ
Template:Evenement
Op zondag 12 november keert Hackers & Designers terug naar Muziekgebouw aan 't IJ voor meer sonische dialoog met behulp van SoundLAB's buitengewone elektro-akoestische instrumentencollectie en geluidsparasieten ontwikkeld door H&D: https://www.muziekgebouw.nl/nl/pQoxDSw/wat- is-soundlab
Beeldbeschrijving: Drie mensen zitten op de grond en kijken naar de persoon die elektronische prototypes met veel draden manipuleert.
Deze keer trappen we zondagmiddag af met een show-and-tell van geluidskunstenaar en muziektechnoloog Arıkan. We zullen ook enkele resultaten delen van het project Hacked Orchestra waar we samen met Noiré aan hebben gewerkt: waar we geluidsparasitaire instrumenten hebben ontwikkeld om te onderzoeken hoe we verbinding kunnen maken en bij elkaar kunnen blijven door middel van lawaai en sonische dialoog. SoundLAB-docenten laten je vervolgens kennismaken met hun instrumentencollectie en begeleiden ons naar een gezamenlijke collectieve jam. Mis het niet!
Locatie
Het evenement wordt gehouden in de Atriumzaal in het Muziekgebouw aan 't IJ, Piet Heinkade 1, 1019BR Amsterdam.
Deuren gaan om 14.45 open. We kunnen 20 tot 25 mensen hosten zodat iedereen de kans krijgt om mee te doen aan de jam. Entree is € 5,00 en kan aan de deur zowel contant als met de kaart betaald worden

He is seemingly amidst a performance. Around him and in the background are an audience of people standing and observing.
Görkem Arıkan is a sound artist and performer, music technologist at SoundLAB, Muziekgebouw Amsterdam, and co-founder of the non-profit experimental music collective A.I.D. He graduated from the Instruments and Interfaces program of STEIM and Sonology at the Royal Conservatory of The Hague, where he developed ARMonic, which is a gestural electroacoustic music system consisting of wearable D.I.Y. sensors and electronics. As a research associate in Sonology, his research delivered Singing Sparks, which is a project about noise and listening amongst car mechanics, resulting in a documentary and a sound installation made of car engine parts. https://gorkemarikan.com/
Access notes
Both the workshop room and the Atriumzaal are wheelchair accessible. The building has a walking bridge that is quite steep, you can also enter the building from the ground floor and take an elevator up to the Atriumzaal.
The building has a wheelchair-friendly elevator and bathroom. There are accessible - paid - parking spots below the building, in the Piet Hein parking. The workshop part of the event will be held mainly in English, but we can also facilitate in Dutch, Arabic and French. This will be a noisy workshop, so taking breaks and stepping out whenever needed is encouraged! The guest program, although less speech-heavy, will be held in English.
If you have any access needs that are not addressed here, please let us know via email. Tell us what you need to participate. We wish to reduce barriers!
