YANN NOVAK: BLUE.HOUR

DESCRIPCIN

Blue.Hour explores the high contrast colors created in the landscape during
bleue,

heure

the period of twilight each evening when there is neither full daylight nor complete

darkness. Directly following the

Golden Hour

, known for its diffused yet powerful light, the Blue

Hour retains the diffusion but lacks the strong light source giving this period of the day an especially
melancholic and meditative atmosphere.

Blue.Hour is presented here in a darkened room with 4 channels of sound paired with a large scale
video projection. The piece is formed from photographs and sounds collected in Joshua Tree
National Park in June
INSTALLATION NOTES

Venue :
- The gallery lighting should be dark, or nearly dark.
- A bench or other seating should be available.

EVOL: 100 VARIATIONS FOR SOLO HOOVER

DESCRIPCIN

Instalacin para tres altavoces desarrollando y expandiendo las caractersticas de la obra de Roc
Jimenez de Cisneros (EVOL)

100 Variations for solo hoover

publicada en 2011 en reductive

music.
Trabajo de sntesis sonora de 6 horas a partir de piezas independientes de 4 minutos con variaciones
de 4 notas para su reproduccin en cada uno de los tres altavoces aleatoriamente. Creando
fenmenos perceptivos y espaciales mediante la interaccin de los tres altavoces.
Nota de la obra (ingls):
Extending the formal and aesthetic aspects of the works that Sharp and Jimenez de Cisneros gather under the
term Rave Synthesis, "100 variations for solo hoover" touches upon issues such as part/whole relationships,
the notions of symmetry, similarity, boundaries and other pertinent topics (see Appendix ).

Appendix:
(1) Ordinary sortal predicates typically express maximal properties, where a property, F, is maximal, roughly, if
large parts of an F are not themselves Fs. A large part of a house-all of the house save a window, say-does not
itself count as a house. A large part of a cat-all of it save the tail, say-does not itself count as a cat. Otherwise in
the vicinity of every house there would be a multitude of houses; in the vicinity of every cat there would be a

multitude of cats. The linguistic conventions governing 'cat' and 'house' do not count large undetached parts of
cats and houses as cats and houses; therefore the properties these predicates express are maximal properties.
Maximality is a kind of border-sensitivity: whether something counts as a house or cat depends on what is going
on around its border.

Sider, Theodore. ''Maximality and Microphysical Supervenience''. In Philosophy and Phenomenological Research
66 (2003): 139-149.

(2) In 1987, Peter van Inwagen asked a good question. (Asking the right question is often the hardest part.) He
asked: what do you have to do to some objects to get them to compose somethingto bring into existence some
further thing made up of those objects? Glue them together or what? Some said that you don't have to do
anything. No matter what you do to the objects, they'll always compose something further, no matter how they
are arranged.

Sider, Theodore. ''Ontological Realism''. In Metametaphysics, edited by David Chalmers, David Manley, and Ryan
Wasserman. Oxford: Oxford University Press (2009): 384-423.

(3) Many philosophers accept what I shall call the Doctrine of Arbitrary Undetached Parts (DAUP). Adherents of
this doctrine believe in such objects as the northern half of the Eiffel Tower, the middle two-thirds of the cigar
Uncle Henry is smoking, and the thousands (at least) of overlapping perfect duplicates of Michelangelo's David
that were hidden inside the block of marble from which (as they see it) Michelangelo liberated the David.
Moreover, they do not believe in only some "undetached parts"; they believe, so to speak, in all of them.

Van lnwagen, Peter. "The Doctrine of Arbitrary Undetached Parts". In Pacific Philosophical Quarterly 62 (1981):
123-137.

(4) Suppose (as a proponent of modes would have it) the sphericity of one beetroot were numerically distinct
from (that is, not strictly identical with) the sphericity of another. We might explain the beetroots' similarity by
noting that they had similar (though numerically distinct) properties. But what is the basis of the similarity
exhibited by these properties? Armstrong has an answer: identity; the properties are strictly identical. In giving
up strict identity, we give up this elegant explanation. We would, in that case, need to fall back on primitive or
brute similarity holding among the properties. (...) A proponent of modes can freely speak of objects 'sharing'
properties, or of distinct objects possessing 'the same' property. In these cases, however, 'same' indicates not
self-sameness

strict identity-but exact similarity. We speak of two stockbrokers wearing the same tie,

meaning only that they are wearing exactly similar ties. Two diners share a taste for anchovies, not in the sense
that the diners possess a single gustatory system; rather they have similar culinary preferences. Henry, we say,
has the same breakfast every morning: each breakfast is not strictly identical with, but is exactly similar to the
others.

s music is created by playing treated vinyl records on a modified turntable. The discs have

been coated, or damaged by attaching glue and

various dusted materials

and then presumably

played on the turntable to create the highly detailed, scrunchy landscapes of crackle and hiss we
hear on the CD. The notes also mention that a computer has been used in the process, and certainly
in places here the sounds are digitally treated quite heavily, but (I think) that this only happens, at
least obviously so, on the last two of the five tracks. Listening again now, Fontana

PERFORMANCE AUDIOVISUAL:

RYOKO AKAMA:

EMPATHY - PHENO_PSYCHO_MIME

DESCRIPCION

- sound which IS what it is "pheno_psycho_mime" is the first solo exhibition of Ryoko Akama, Japan/Europe based audio visual
artist. "pheno_psycho_mime" is Ryoko Akama's ongoing project dealing with Japanese phenomime
and psychomime. Vast numbers of Japanese onomatopoeic verbs and adjectives demonstrate
natural phenomenon as if they have real sounds - but actually they don't. The words like "kira kira"
or "fuwa fuwa" are created as the result of human reaction to sonify the world.
"pheno_psycho_mime" is Ms. Akama's interpretation of the linguistic world using field recording,
sound manipulation and video images.

Category : improvisation, sound, dance

Phenomime -mimetic words to represent non-auditory senses, a certain physical form or motion
Psychomime-mimetic words that represent psychological states or bodily feelings
How do you describe the sound of bubbles in soda? How about the twinkle of starlight?
The sound/feeling of a stare? The crispness of chips or the sensation of steam on your face?
How about the feeling of two people in love?
What if someone speaks the language fluently?
Movement -> verbal interpretation -> phenomime
Emotion ->

verbal interpretation -> psycomime

Interaction and improvisation between body, sound and verbal sense. The classic example of the
same intent is `draw lines and dance along with your line images` which have been played over years
to free minds and also body senses. I believe the same interest happens within the realm of
improvisation.

Dance -> creation of sounds (non-verbal method)

Dance -> creation of pheno/psyco mime (verbal method)

SEE(eyes) . FEEL(minds) . EXPRESS(creation) = EMPATHY

Cho Shinta A famous author who had both obnoxious and positive criticisms for his unique drawings
and ideas. Most of children will meet his work during childhood and his pieces are loved by adults.
Nonsense is what general critiques call his works. - Is not Nonsense the strategy of New-ness?
He has done several books only with phenomime and phycomime.

Synopsis of Project :
SPANISH AND JAPANESE LANGUAGE COLLABORATION
An art beyond the borderline of verbal sense
We will lead the workshop structure from various factors around Pheno_Psyco_Mime and Cho Shinta.
We can choreograph our performance from his pictures, make musical scores (unnotated) to
it. We can start from silent movements, work out sounds verbally and non-verbally, or we also can
begin with sound and choreograph movements improvised to it. This workshops can be with
musicians and dancers, or generated as open to publics. I think the final performance will be vital. A
public participatory performance is also a possibile choice.
The two days workshops are concentrated on
1 improvisation - creation process of movement from sounds
2 improvisation - creation process of sound from movement

Past achievement:
Four short films have been presented recently. They are my interpretation of selected pheno_psyco
mime with the use of improvised sounds and visual aspects.
