Orion Plague
Orion Plag lands at Live at Our Place with a new three-part live set inspired by Orion's Belt: Alnitak, Alnilam, Mintaka. Using multi-layered, synthesizer-based sounds and a dual MIDI keyboard setup, each star is presented as a character, unfolding through its own atmosphere, emotional tension, and evolving energy. Growing loops, sarcastic basslines, wordless songs, and ecstatic dances are to be expected in Orion Plag's music, which constantly oscillates between raw beats and melancholic melodies.

Görkem Arıkan is an interdisciplinary sound artist and performer. He is a music technologist at SoundLAB in Amsterdam and co-founder of the non-profit experimental music collective AID.
He is actively involved in various projects in which art, technology, and culture merge, exploring expressive sonic interactions and creating experimental electronic instruments and sound installations.
Sensors form a dynamic network on a wooden frame, offering a tangible canvas for sonic exploration through the manipulation of tension dynamics. Playing the instrument entails deforming and intertwining the network—by pulling the strings, pushing the nodes, and adjusting the angle of the frame with movable hinges.
