SYN-Phon has its roots in Candaş Şişman's residency program at the Budapest Art Factory (BAF), which lasted through June 2013. Candaş Şişman performed the graphic notation (sound composition), which he constructed based on the space and time he experienced in Budapest, with musicians Barabás Lőrinc and Ölveti Mátyás during his residency program.
The Installation in the exhibition is a compilation of performances performed by different musicians in different countries. Within the space, there is a cubic installation with four screens displaying sound recordings of previous performances and graphic notation. The mist enveloping the space enhances the immersive experience.
Candaş Şişman's work explores the thresholds between sound, word and visual image, while focusing on the limits and possibilities of language which encompasses our conceptual thinking. The artist uses the graphic notation to create a kind of personal language, based on experiencing the visual and sound in parallel within the spatial experience. He constructs a sensory experiment to liberate and pluralize the forms of interpersonal communication. Candaş Şişman brings in the musicians he works with as freely inspired composers, to his search for a new language or a trans-linguistic communication, in various parts of the world.
