taking selfies without the self. walking with an analog instant camera, I captured places where the word “self” was laid out in fragile, fleeting materials (leaves, paillettes) and then photographed during its slow decay. The idea of self concerning the human body is also connected to specific body parts: the eye, the hand, the face.…
#unSELFed Building from the living structures, expanding and gently adding. The artefacts from the initial inputs are being translated into the one given medium, sound. Feeling the breath of the texture. Finding exact frequency. Iterative remix of these artefacts created a sound structure, which resulted in the piece #unSELFed, a 20-minute sound work. Trusting the…
Mixdown musings My thoughts on our project for Art’s Birthday. On January 17, we will be presenting some of our work on the radio. For this, we have decided to each take some of the materials we have already created/generated, and create a sort of mash-up, so to speak. Essentially one person would take the…

(11.11.2020) The useful information, derived from the text, is not related to the text’s meaning. text has its own energy…
Creation of the score One experiment I want to conduct that relates to the double bass and the intervals is to create an electronic piece that uses the same pitches, but going up to much higher harmonics. This will allow two things: 1) an expanded possibility of pitches, and 2) precision of tuning and steadiness…
Reflection on the self project and further developments The self project I completed was an interesting exercise, but after playing around with parameters, the artistic result was not interesting. After hearing the projects of others, and synthesizing ideas from discussions on performer autonomy and system feedback, I have decided to pursue the concept of autonomie…
What is the barrier between object and agent? Double bass not performed on, but enacted upon Where is the autonomy of the self, of the double bass? Create a system, a loop, a feedback, between the double bass, the agents, and some kind of exciter How does the exciter interact with the agents? Do they…
Autonomie Project 1 – self Begin with the smallest possible impulse An identity A single sound The sound is processed The processed is processed The processed sound becomes the self Again A new identity
