"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.
