Wir laden sie recht herzlich zu einem Open CUBE/CUBE Lecture Konzert und einer Workshop Präsentation am IEM ein. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Donnerstag, 13.10.2016, 19:00 Uhr (Lecture und anschliessend Konzert) CUBE Lecture/Konzert Franciszek Araszkiewicz Music governed by Brain-Waves ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Franciszek Araszkiewicz ist derzeit Artist-in-Residence in Wien auf Einladung von KulturKontakt Austria und dem Bundeskanzleramt Dieses Konzert findet statt mit freundlicher Unterstützung von KulturKontakt Austria. Music governed by Brain-Waves – ABSTRACT The principal subject of this lecture consists in describing chosen examples from music literature utilizing the technique of governing the music material by activity of human brain being scanned in real time, and discussing the main virtues and problems beyond the concept. Firstly, the pioneering Music for solo performer (1965) by Alvin Lucier will be discussed. Secondly, examples from newest polish music will be described, including Waves (2014) and Cymatic Brain (2015) by Marek Chołoniewski, as well as Matchpoint: Sound of Brain (2015), performance by Franciszek Araszkiewicz and Horst Konietzny (Munich), Paradoxes 2 for piano and electronics governed by brainwaves (2015), Palindromic Brainwaves for voice and electronics (2015) by Franciszek Araszkiewicz, and Double Brain (2016) by Araszkiewicz/Chołoniewski. Technique of streaming amplitudes of brainwaves in eight frequencies as well as average calculated states of concentration, relaxation and eye movement, utilizing the Brainwave OSC software and MAX/MSP patches will be discussed in detail. Particular stress will be put on the issue of interaction between brain activity and live electronics layer, as well as the way audiences can perceive it. The technique of performing/composing will be discussed as being a type of interactive improvisation on stochastic phenomena. „Study of Brainfields 3” for electronics governed by brainwaves and electromagnetic fields will be performed after the lecture. BIO Franciszek Araszkiewicz studied composition at the Academy of Music in Krakow (with Krzysztof Knittel and Marcel Chyrzyński). He composed vocal, instrumental, electroacoustic music, audio-visual and interactive installations.His works have been performed on many Polish ad international festivals. He received many prizes, awards and prestigious grants in Poland and abroad, including Avenir Grant (2014) awarded by the Arnold Schoenberg Center in Vienna, scholarship City of Cracow in the field of music (2014), artist-in-residence in Villa Waldberta, Munich (2015), and the Minister of Culture and National Heritage prize for students of art schools for outstanding achievements in the creative arts. Selected ‘Composer in Residence’ at the Artists in Residence Programm organized by the Austrian Federal Chancellery (Bundeskanzleramt Österreich) in cooperation with the KKA (Kultur Kontakt Austria) for 2016. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Freitag, 14.10.2016, 18:00 Uhr Workshop Präsentation mit Studierenden des Bachelors “Computermusik" John Richards Dirty Electronics – Yoke II ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Yoke II explores the themes of physical labour and oppression, affordance, oblique instrumental strategies and the embodiment of electronic sound. The instrument consists of a copper coil wrapped around a tube containing magnets. The performer is tethered to the tube that represents and takes on the appearance of a yoke. Movement is deliberately restricted and ‘playing’ the instrument is only through angling the yoke so the magnets pass through the tube and coil to create electric current for a DIY analogue synth. Short analogue percussive sounds, and some with extended decay and sustain, are coalesced in to a large-group physical sound performance piece. Yoke II is an adaption of these principles further investigating bounding and tethering - performer to performer, and performer to instrument - and how these restrictions may impose themselves on the idea of play. How might restricted bodily movement lead to a performance rhetoric and are there ways in which the restricted movement, or force (fight for freedom), can be represented in the resulting sound? BIO John Richards explores the idea of Dirty Electronics that focuses on shared experiences, ritual, gesture, touch and social interaction. In Dirty Electronics process and performance are inseparably bound. The 'performance' begins on the workbench devising instruments and is extended onto the stage through playing and exploring these instruments. Richards is primarily concerned with the performance of large-group electronic music and DIY electronics, and the idea of composing inside electronics. His work also pushes the boundaries between music, performance art, electronics, and graphic design and is transdisciplinary as well as having a socio-political dimension. Richards has been commissioned to create sound devices for various arts organisations and festivals and has released a series of hand-held synths on Mute Records. He has collaborated and performed with, amongst others, Japanese noise artists Merzbow, Pauline Oliveros, Howard Skempton (founder member of the Scratch Orchestra), Gabriel Prokofiev, Nicholas Bullen (ex-Napalm Death and Scorn) and Yan Jun. Other notable collaborations include working with Rolf Gehlhaar (original Stockhausen group), Chris Carter from Throbbing Gristle, Keith Rowe, Anat Ben-David (Chicks on Speed), choreographer Saburo Teshigawara and STEIM (Amsterdam). dirtyelectronics.org Eintritt frei!
