Puppets at the piano (11.08.2023) by Ellen Ugelvik

In Performing Precarity we have been working with several composers staging projects that enhance unstable situations on stage. For Berg & Høeg’s Photostudio I composed the music myself. In this exposition I reflect upon experiences from the process of creating and performing the music in improvisational dialogue with my collaborators in Theater Corpus.
What ideas and work methods are available to me in the encounter between puppets, actors, myself and my instrument? How can themes and experiences from the research project Performing Precarity inform the work?
My reflections deal specifically with the music, despite the fact that the music clearly cannot to be separated from the whole setting. Many thanks for permission use our material in this exposition; Tormod, Aina, Tuva, Ragni and Daniel.

Editorial: Inaugural issue of an emergent journal on arts, design, and performing arts

published in: HUB - Journal of Research in Art, Design and Society
Welcome to the inaugural issue of the HUB, the Journal of Research in Art, Design, and Society. HUB has been created to bridge a gap within the current cross-disciplinary space of the arts and design research by providing a platform for the exchange of ideas to foster new forms of inquiry and documentation of artistic research. As a result, HUB intends to provide an opportunity for discussion concerning the eclecticism of creative processes and methodologies and the educational impact of artistic research. At the same time, it seeks to stimulate the debate surrounding the social, cultural, and technological frames of art and design practices.
Authoring Noise, Noising Authority: Loudness and Oratory in an East Javanese Family Gathering
(2024)
author(s): Heikki Wilenius
published in: Journal of Sonic Studies
In this article, Heikki Wilenius reexamines an initially disregarded field recording from a family meeting in East Java, Indonesia, to understand the interplay between loudness and authority. The focal point of the analysis is the presence of a massive sound system in the gathering and its impact on social interactions. Wilenius explores the oratorical practices within the context of the event and examines the different ways speakers attempt to speak in an authoritative manner. Additionally, he investigates the semiotics of noise, considering it not as a mere lack of structure but as a moment of interruption that can produce insights upon closer analysis.
Wilenius argues that the loudness of oratory events in Java implies power but can also risk being perceived as empty rhetoric. He suggests that authority in Java has a semiotic ideology where refined, ignorable sounds can coexist with harsh, compelling ones. The article concludes that the materiality of the recording itself serves as an ethnographic object that resists assimilation into a cultural context, offering insights into the dynamics of authority at play. By embracing the "deficiencies" of the recording, Wilenius uncovers new dimensions of the ethnographic experience, proposing a methodology of repeated listening to reveal structures within seemingly arbitrary sounds.
Reconfiguring the Landscape
(2024)
author(s): Natasha Barrett
published in: Norwegian Academy of Music
Reconfiguring the Landscape was a Norwegian artistic research project hosted at the Norwegian Academy for Music and funded by the Norwegian Agency for International Cooperation and Quality Enhancement in Higher Education (DIKU). The project investigated how 3-D electroacoustic composition and sound-art can evoke and provoke a new awareness of our outdoor environment. The work addressed both urban and natural settings. The project was led by Natasha Barrett and included an international lineup of composers, technologists and scientists who contributed in different ways. The project startup was in November 2019, just a few months before COVID impacted all activities. From 2020-2021 the project members worked independently. In 2022 group activities resumed. Research work formally ended in the beginning of 2023, and public dissemination and documentation concluded in November 2023.
