As part of “New Sounds”, a musical project inspired by Suna and İnan Kıraç Foundation collections, “Experiments with Measures”, is a musical experiment inspired by the Anatolian Weights and Measures Collection and designed with an analytical perspective. Dimensioning is an integral part of developmental process, as well as a functional necessity in our daily lives. In music, dimensioning progressed and transformed for hundreds of years to understand and to come to an agreement, into today’s music theory. The metronome is fixed, and the entire performance is limited to four notes. With the rhythmic measure and harmonic structural changes, the performance aims a walkthrough music’s two variables: rhythm and tonality (harmony and melody). Mehmet Yaranona’s guitar and live sound loops are grounded with Koray Erkan’s bass guitar, accompanied by Akay Taşkıntuna on the drums.

Each memory tells an intimate story; each collection presents us with the reality of containing an intimate story as well. The collection is akin to a whole in which many memories and stories of the artist, the viewer, and the collector are brought together. At the heart of a collection is memory, nurtured from the past and projecting into the future.
