The title above was a name of the
international seminar that I participated and that took place at
Orpheus Institute Center for Music Research in Ghent, Belgium in February this year. I had a wonderful opportunity to present a part of my work
Embodied composition - Treatment and meaning of physical object in experimental music and sound art, to many composers and theoreticians that participated the seminar. The title of my presentation was
Thingification of compositional process - Emergence and autonomy of physical object in Western Art Music.
And so WoO and I had another live gig. This time the music sounded much closer to what we imagined it should be in the first place - giving enough time for each idea to develop, for every single sound to be heard and being very careful about each sound played. WoO was playing with his standard setup - 4 or 5 pedals and electric guitar, producing beautiful small noises in combination with objects of different kinds, and making touching layers made of simple musical motives looped in irregular times, fading into harmonies, drones and sound masses made of clicks, glitches and other sounds we were producing on the spot. I played with my Pure data patch, updated a bit to provide me easier manipulation of the samples, with a new possibility of building rhythmical patterns of different length, speed and color. Beside Korg nano control I also used Touch OSC app on my iphone which turned out to be quite compatible with my patch.
