  Towards a Response-able Com-position Practice: Entangling with Humans, More-than-humans and Materials (last edited: 2022) author(s): Fulya Uçanok This exposition is in progress and its share status is: visible to all.
  This exposition is an accompaniment to an artistic research process tied to my dissertation, titled "Towards a Response-able Com-position Practice: Entangling with Humans, More-than-humans & Materials". The exposition provides a condensed and compact format of information allowing the viewer/listener to trace the process, mainly led by graphics, sound files, along with short informational and contextual texts. My research is based on a model that springs from a relational, sympoietic, socio-musical imagination for composition. The research sprang from my interest and desire to attend otherness, for cultivating generative and creative practices through collaborative socio-sonic engagements, first and foremost interested in the interface of connection and co-creation. In the composition model, relationality focuses on perspectives of response-ability in the act of com-posing with human, material and more-than-human agents. I call this model Response-able Com-position (RC), as the aim of the practice is to generate and cultivate various abilities to respond, and trace these responses within the act of com-position. Instead of placing the performer/composer's agency at the center of the composition process, the model widens and shifts the center to other humans, non-humans and materials, where they are not the object of study but the generators of knowledge itself. By privileging such position, the whole proposal revolves around resonances and potentialities consist of listening-within entangled relations. Listening as performative auralities entail, listening through aural analysis, embodied forms of listening (performance) and listening-back to the process and re-evaluating. The study proposed by the model is interested in working through differences in a relational way, enacting a series of collaboratory events through differentiating and entangling agents and selves, within a multivalent plane. Working from within a paradoxical situation, it deals with processes of disruption that leads into new ways of thinking, feeling and acting.
