• CASAGRAFIAS (last edited: 2019) author(s): Raul Saldarriaga, Mariella Greil-Moebius This exposition is in progress.
  “Casagrafias” (this is the name of my research) is an exploratory journey in search of a definition of “choreography” close to me. After going through many houses, workshops, sounds, smells, flavors, hugs, that my words can not name because they are ephemeral, invisible and fleeting ideas, I have reached the conclusion that makes a dynamic definition necessary, one that moves and changes from house to house, negotiating between bodies. From day to day and word of mouth. For example … I found the definition of the kitchen as “center” in my mother’s house, where everything revolves around this nurturing space. Although the kitchen is not architecturally the center of the house, it seems to be located in the center of the universe where elements of many worlds coexist. Necessitates movements, steps, a choreography co-created with tastes, foods, always in negotiation with people events and actions.

  Playing Schumann Again for the First Time (last edited: 2019) author(s): Bobby Mitchell connected to: Academy of Creative and Performing Arts This exposition is in progress.
  How can one learn to improvise convincingly within the context of the nineteenth-century piano repertoire? And why is it important to improvise on this repertoire in the twenty-first century? Taking the music of Robert Schumann as a departure point, Playing Schumann Again for the First Time proposes an answer to these questions through methods towards a pianistic practice that is driven by experimentation and strives to continually find more layers where improvisation can take place, both in sounding musical practice and in notation. These practice methods are substantiated and contextualized by a discussion of the presence of improvisation in Western classical musical practice in the nineteenth century, as well as a plea to use improvisation as a tool for rethinking the current performance practice of nineteenth-century music. Improvisation itself and the concepts driving this term will also be addressed: improvisation in musical performance will be described as a process guided by a feedback loop between mimesis and morphosis with which the practitioner engages using his or her individual cognitive and embodied approach to listening, forgetting, and conceptualizing; the results of which bear his or her own sonic signature. The knowledge gained in this project lies within the realm of what will be described as improvisation as practice, a category of improvisational behavior that circumvents the need to be presented as art and is rather intended for the development of one’s own music-making.

  Reapplying Phenomena of Meaning (2019) author(s): Wesley Troeger published in: Research Catalogue
  Name: Wesley Troeger subject: composition supervisors: Samuel Vriezen, Eric Kluitenberg title: Reapplying Phenomena of Meaning question: how can the chosen four phenomena of meaning be reapplied in composition? The paper explores an artistic process of observing and analyzing complexities of meaning in works of different media, and reapplying these complexities in musical composition. Films, stage works, novels and paintings are analyzed for their relevant properties in a series of brief case studies. The problems of abstraction and reapplication are examined, and the ways in which I have done the latter are explained. bio: Wesley Troeger is a master's student in composition at the Royal Conservatoire of The Hague. He is from Westchester, New York and currently studies with Yannis Kyriakides and Alison Isadora. He holds a bachelor's degree in composition from New England Conservatory in Boston.
