Görkem Şen is an artist, inventor, composer, multi-instrumentalist, sound engineer, and sound designer. In his journey to search for the essence of music, after thoroughly understanding the elements of traditional and electronic music, he created the instrument called the ‘yaybahar’, which can produce complex sounds in a completely acoustic form.

With his invention, spring family instruments, he creates entirely new sound textures and melodic structures beyond traditional musical forms.
