Composition beyond Music – Workshop with Peter Ablinger (Graz, AT)

“Composition beyond Music” by no means excludes “music”, but above all it is an opportunity to reflect on presentation forms for acoustic works, for sound compositions that go beyond the classic concert setup.

 

Field recordings, site-specific compositions and installations, the presentation of sounds, sound production as a social pattern, the essentials of sound and music, music without sounds, technology and research into source material, the body in music, archaeoacoustics, sound and other media, perception and reality – these are just some of the potential themes to be explored, elaborated, and presented by the participants in their own works in this workshop series that combines theory and practice. The direction and focus of each workshop will ultimately be determined by the individual concepts and ideas of the participants and also depends on the available venues, galleries, and performance possibilities.

 

The workshop is meant to encourage the critical analysis of musical preconditions and practices so that the participants will be inspired to discover alternative forms of sounds and listening through the aesthetic examination of such practices.

 

Consequently, the workshop is not only open to composers, sound artists and musicians but also to participants from other disciplines, provided that they are interested in making reference to or integrating sound into their work.

 

Peter Ablinger´s workshop will be accompanied by visual and sound artist Christine Schörkhuber at impuls 2013. Christine Schörkhuber will make use both of the process of discussion, ideas, materials, creation and final presentation of the works to be realised during impuls in order to work on some sort of „artistic, personal documentation“ of this project per video. You can have a look at this video here.

 

The workshop is a special project developed by impuls and set up within the EU project and network Ulysses and will be organised also by four partners of impuls (Gaudeamus Muziekweek, NL, Utrecht / IMD, DE, Darmstadt / IRCAM, FR, Paris / Time of Music, FI, Vitasaari) during the upcoming three years (with different participants in four different places of course). The results of all workshops will then be compiled (for documentation use respectively further presentations in the format of videos respectively other formats being developed during the process) and represent different perspectives on the topic by approximately 40 international young composers/artists taking into consideration also the site-specific conditions of each place respectively specifics of each workshop and organisation.
