Festival Time:Spans, New York - Chaya Czernowin: "the divine thawing of the core"

Deutschlandfunk Kultur

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 [email protected] 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.

We look forward to reading your tragic stories,

To be in a band, at least according to the rules of rock in the 1970s, one must know how to play an instrument. But rather than waste time solving that problem, No Wavers ignored it. The point was simply to make music, not to learn how first.

Day 2 of #Noisevember25 — “Liquid.”
Every sound here came from found water recordings: humming kitchen pipes, shower flow, rain against PVC, and gurgling drain, layered into something rhythmic, mechanical.

Das gute an #klangpoesie ,jemand anders zu kopieren, Nachahmung ist nicht so tragisch, weil die 'instrumente' und Klangvielfalt praktisch unbegrenzt ist.
Man kann das Prinzip nachmachen, aber das ist ja an sich sowieso steinzeitalt. Es gibt kein Urheberrecht darauf, irgendwas, das klappert, aneinander zu schlagen.

Test Test, teste mal wie schlecht das Bildmaterial sein muss, um längere Videos geladen zu kriegen... kann eigentlich höchstens Fotos verwenden, sonst ist eine Shorts-Länge mit niedriger Auflösung das höchste.

It's been a very long time since I've recorded any music (noise-art/music concrete, etc in this case). Here is a link (in comments) to a mashup track I just released on Bandcamp. Sending you there via my Substack.
This track is politically timely and I'd love to hear what any of you think about it.
Moreover, it's a way of gathering a few bucks for a very important part of the 2025 CAULDRON INTERNATIONAL FILM AND VIDEO FESTIVAL, so If you like it, please buy it for just 3 bucks or more. The money goes towards getting some relevant film work about the Palestinian genocide into the festival, and promoting that aspect of the festival.

Coming soon! NoiseSpace is an experimental sound generator based on simplex noise, which is then used in a granular synthesis algorithm. This design allows for the creation of a vast array of diverse waveforms rich in harmonics with a rich low-frequency spectrum.
