Rehearsal time with #agentelevitante !

#tsura #duduk #soundbox #DIYInstruments #improv

top down photo of a Greek Tsura (similar to Bzouki, looking like an oblong Mandolin) lying on a sofa, a contact mic is attached to the instrument and fastened with some tape. A small mono mixer is next to it.

Hands playing a Duduk (Armenian flute) in front of a microphjone. On the background we can see cables, a small mixer and an echo FX pedal

A Leaf Audio Sound box (small wooden box, featuring various soundmaking elements: metal springs, a "Kalimba" and a rough surface for scratching) sits on a table, and a DIY one-string violin on a smaller stool next to it. Also on the table: a tuner and violin rosin.

I wonder how long Mattias Krantz will keep his fingers. At least he has a cool fridge magnet now. 🤣

Have you ever experienced a situation where your performance did not go according to plan?

Perhaps, the instrument you built broke or caught fire on stage, the soundperson hated you, or you were just too nervous to perform well...

If the answer to the question above is “yes”, “maybe” or “it surely felt that way” then you might be interested in contributing to our initiative.

We are an international group of artists/researchers in the field of multimedia arts, experimental music and instrument building based in the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (GZ).

We are working on a project that focuses on Failed Performances with idiosyncratic setups (self-built instruments, new interfaces, or any other bespoke musical systems and contraptions) with the working title No-gos Interruptions Malfunctions and Errors.

To this end, we are collecting stories and anecdotes from the community regarding instruments and performances that failed, broke, remained silent or misbehaved on stage.

We do not attempt to give a universal definition of what “failure” in experimental performance context exactly is, rather, we are interested in the performers’ subjective perspectives. We prioritize the human experience, but we are not excluding other factors such as organizational or technical failures, non-human agency or supernatural phenomena.

If you are interested in participating in such initiative, please send us:

- A written account of a performance that you consider as a failure (we recommend 300 to 800 words)
- The level of details and stylistic choices are at author’s discretion
- One word that, in your opinion, captures the essence of the story
- Optional: Photo\video documentation of the story

Send the materials mentioned above to noinmaer@proton.me before February 25th

The final project will take the form of a printed zine (and a pdf document) with submissions arranged alphabetically from A-to-Z, according to the keyword that the authors provided. We reserve the right to use a synonym to the word of your choosing for indexing purposes, e.g. disaster [also catastrophe].

The authors' identities will be anonymous by default, unless authors explicitly request i to show their name or an alias. The stories will be presented verbatim; cases where edits are needed will be indicated in the text.

The zine will be distributed free of charge through venues and organizations interested.

and feel free to get in touch if you have any questions

We look forward to reading your tragic stories,

Back to work on project Chowndolo! Improving the PCB design and making refinements using KiCad. Excited to take this to the next level...

Looking back to when I designed and built (with Ftank Balde) the "Wonky Drum Sequencer". a MIDI controller that adds a new twist to drum sequencing. This project became the foundation for workshops I led at STEIM, exploring new approaches to rhythm and sound. Grateful to the Dutch Creative Industries Fund for supporting these courses and helping make these creative sessions possible. @stimuleringsfonds #WonkyDrumSequencer #STEIM #DutchCreativeIndustriesFund #MidiController #ElectronicMusic #SoundDesign #CreativeTechnology #MusicWorkshops #DigitalInstruments #ExperimentalMusic #MusicTech #DIYInstruments #ElectronicArt #SoundExploration #InteractiveArt #InnovationInMusic #CreativeCoding #TechArt #ArtAndTechnology #NewMediaArt

Smudged - Contrabass improvisation 16 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-UyRcYqRm_g

Free form contrabass improvisations in a celebration of the moment. Low end sonic collages, with DIY instruments inject each piece with a sense of now. Every performance is a spontaneous act of creation.

I made a thing! I wanted to test my woodworking skills. It went better than I had expected. Front and back are Port Orford cedar, sides and neck are Madrone, frett board is Black Locust.

#Ecco. A #DIY bass/percussion/string instrument.
I've build this from parts typically found in theater workshops and used it in numerous concerts and recordings since 2013, prominently on the latest @Air Cushion Finish album.

It’s #HalfTerm this week in part of the UK (my 2 are off next week), so this week I will@post a few ideas for some DIY #MusicalActivities you could make at home with the children. For these #DIYinstruments you’ll be able to use things you already have at home/ are very cheap to buy.
