Abstract

"1city1001vibrations" is a sound installation project of Sinan Bökesoy. It does continuous analysis of live sounds with the microphones installed on top of significant places at Bosphorus - Istanbul. The transmitted sounds are accompanied by an algorithmic composition derived from this content analysis for controlling two Kuka industrial robot arms performing the percussions installed around them while creating a metaphor through an intelligent composition/performance system. This paper aims to focus on the programming strategies taken for developing a musical instrument out of an industrial robot.

... Weinberg's work also relates directly to this project, as he has done significant development toward repurposing industrial robots for musical purposes, such as his work on Shimon with Guy Hoffman [2]. Sinan Bokesoy's interactive installation work using a commercial robotic arm [1] is another notable project that involves repurposed industrial robots. ...

This paper describes a project undertaken in the Spring of 2014 that sought to create an audiovisual performance using an industrial robotic arm. Some relevant examples of previous robotic art are discussed, and the design challenges posed by the unusual situation are explored. The resulting design solutions for the sound, robotic motion, and video projection mapping involved in the piece are explained, as well as the artistic reasoning behind those solutions.
... Après plusieurs séances de travail avec le compositeur Sinan Bökesoy (concepteur du synthétiseur stochastique inspiré des travaux de Iannis Xenakis, Cosmosƒ [8] et auteur d'une publication sur l'utilisation des robots industriels en performance artistique [9]), une résidence autofinancée à Büyükada en Turquie s'est tenue du 29 juillet au 12 août 2013 afin d'esquisser les grands principes de la pièce et ses enjeux majeurs. ...

Le logiciel IanniX offre la possibilité d’écrire et de composer des partitions exécutées en temps réel qui émettent des messages de contrôle — synthèse, effets, etc. — et reçoivent des messages de structure — ajout, altération d’objets —. La combinaison de ces entrées/sorties et des interfaces disponibles (scripts, réseau, interface graphique) permet de composer des partitions de contrôle de paramètres, des partitions réactives à des stimuli, des partitions stochastiques, génératives ou encore interactives où IanniX réalise des mappings complexes et temporels. Les partitions rétroactives développées dans cet article représentent un nouveau champ de composition, où la sortie de la partition est bouclée sur son entrée. Elle entre parfois en résonance, parfois s’emballe mais reproduit globalement les phénomènes observés dans les systèmes bouclés. L’article présente d’abord l’état des lieux de ce phénomène graphique sonifié par IanniX pour ensuite le proposer comme un nouveau processus génératif d’écriture musicale. L’article se conclut sur une première réalisation, Singularités, développée avec ce mécanisme en utilisant un robot industriel ainsi que le synthétiseur Cosmosƒ.
... This makes it a highly versatile machine. Though originally developed for use in factories, industrial robots have found application in other domains, including creative practices such as art (Diaz, 2012), music (Bökesoy & Adler, 2011) and architecture (Gramazio & Kohler, 2008). ...
Article
Industrial robots are general-purpose machines. To perform a specific task, a robot is given instructions. This process is referred to as robot programming and can be approached in several ways. In online/teach programming, an operator controls the robot using a teach pendant and leads it through its task. This is recorded and can be replayed. In offline programming, instructions are pre-written in a programming language on a separate computer and then sent to the robot for execution. Referencing the field of computer music, this paper explores an alternative approach – live programming. Here, instructions are written and edited on-the-fly, triggering immediate robotic responses. As a proof of concept, the music synthesis software Max/MSP is extended with robot programming functionalities and used as a live environment to control a robotic folding process. This paper describes the development of a Max/MSP patch for folding aluminum strips and discusses the results of its use. ©Journal of Professional Communication, all rights reserved.
