I was very anxious about this class. Improvisation is my nightmare. I unfortunately lost all of my recordings as they did not load into my OneDrive. I was very keen on listening back and checking how I felt about them objectively. I will give an overview of the experience nevertheless. Having no idea what the… Continue reading Scoring Improvisation

Immersive theatre based on greek mythology and the Trojan war. Set across two buildings in Woolwich, one hosting Greece, the other one Troy. As the audience walks into the venue, they are handed a mask. They cannot speak for the duration of the show and are granted no instructions. Each must find their own way,… Continue reading Punchdrunk’s The Burnt City

Founded in 1984 by students from Kyoto City University of Arts, Dumb Type’s multifaceted installations and performances often deploy cyberpunk imagery in order to critique a highly “informatised” consumer society that is concurrently rendered passive or mute via the unceasing deluge of data and technological development: individuals who are “overwhelmed with information yet unaware of… Continue reading Dumb Type

An interesting idea I found in this book so far is that of the autonomy of language in Christianity’s way of dealing with carnal pleasure. ‘To be made pure religion was to be symbolized by words, or discourse, and alienated from sinful bodies and institutionalised sacred referents. The sight or sound of the word was… Continue reading Re-Forming the Body

I have been spending some times with the hardware synths. I am not a massive fan of the sound of synths used as musical instruments. There are certain electronic sounds that I do love. Mika Vainio’s Stratostaatti comes to mind. Or anything by Ryoji Ikeda. I love synths when they sound like electricity. When I… Continue reading Popping Candy

My process always starts with visuals. It can be a colour palette, it can be a textile, it can be a room or a time of the day. Usually a combination of all of the above. This project revolves around themes of pleasure, addiction, restraint and broadly our relationships with our bodies. There is a… Continue reading Moodboard

One subject I want to explore in my practice is non-substance addiction and generally our relationship to our bodies. Researching the notion of pleasure I found out there is a whole literature on the matter and how related its’ study is with that of religious practices. In the article In pursuit of the study of… Continue reading Pleasure

‘The very people who you would once have expected to produce (as artists) or champion (as consumers) the non-traditional and groundbreaking – that’s the group that’s most addicted to the past. In demographic terms, it’s the exact same cutting-edge class, but instead of being pioneers and innovators, they’ve switched roles to become curators and archivists.… Continue reading Arrière-garde

As my piece has to do with silenced voices I have been looking at ways to construct metaphors around the voice. Using it’s texture as an instrument by sampling is a fairly popular approach, but how about using it as information to control a different instrument? Peter Ablinger is exploring this in his extensive Quadraturen… Continue reading Talking Piano
