  On Klänge for Variation I (last edited: 2020) author(s): Erika Matsunami This exposition is in progress.
  Collective artistic research on "Corona" (1962) by Toru Takemitsu. The start point of this artistic research is an artwork Corona-STEMS-GALAXYOMEGA (May 2020) by Lukas Huisman who a pianist and Ph.D. artistic researcher, he started to interpret "Corona" (1962) by Takemitsu together wit a composer Patrick Housen newly. I collaborate with him as a visual artist for a sound installation in this artistic project. Thereby Joint research subject is on "transculturality of sounds". As a visual artist, I research on the subject of time and space in "Corona" (1962) by Toru Takemitsu for the exploration of new interpretation. Thus theoretical exploration is in terms of ongoing artistic research in the philosophy of sound.

  INVESTIGATING THE IMPACT OF ELECTROACOUSTIC MUSIC IN GREEK CULTURE, THROUGH A PORTFOLIO OF ELECTROACOUSTIC MUSIC WORKS WHICH EXPLORE RELIGIOUS AND MYTHOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF GREECE. (last edited: 2020) author(s): Epa Fassianos This exposition is in progress.
  My research investigated the practicability of diverse electroacoustic music compositional approaches which were applied in a series of works that explored specific relationships between real-world and abstracted sound materials, through the strategic use of pitched, melodic and non-pitched materials (and specific characters and behaviours of those materials) as integral elements in the compositional process. All compositions were related to Greece at many different levels, in direct or symbolic ways. My main aim was to explore all of these different levels in a musical way via electroacoustic music and to present transformed aspects of Greece. In addition, I attempted to explore new electroacoustic music territories by undertaking a journey from real-world instrumental and concrete soundworlds based on aspects of Greek culture (religion, mythology), towards abstract soundworlds. Real-world soundworlds consist of sounds, spaces and places that can potentially communicate human experiences: familiar impressions, aural images and evocations for the listener. Abstract soundworlds that emerge from real-world ones through various transformation processes also consist of particular sounds, spaces and places which can be very different compared to the ones emerging from real-world soundworlds. Developing innovative techniques and processes that explore the intersections, contrasts, connections and discourse between the two was my main overall aim.

  ***CLICK FOR MORE INFORMATION*** reading as performance / reading as composition (2020) author(s): Paul Norman published in: Journal for Artistic Research
  At the end of ‘Sentences on Conceptual Art’ (1969), Sol LeWitt states: “these sentences comment on art but are not art.” In the same work he also remarks, “If words are used and they proceed from ideas about art, then they are art and not literature, numbers are not mathematics,” thus creating a paradigm. Is writing or talking about artistic ideas art or not? … Let’s say for now that it could be. John Cage famously defined music as the “organisation of sound” perhaps though, reflecting on the origin of the word composition as coming from the Latin componere meaning to “put together”, the ‘organisation of things’, may be a more suitable definition. Not only sound, but all elements of a performance could or perhaps should be organised, put together or composed. Consider the situation where your (yes, you the readers) organisational decisions matter. Maybe it’s as simple as ‘do I read the text or look at the given example first?’ These decisions matter, they effect what is communicated and when, what knowledge or assumptions are carried and for how long. These decisions are thus meaningful and potentially compositional in nature, establishing a new question. Is all reading compositional?… …Let’s say for now that it could be.
