Akademirommet: Contemporary Composers Vol. 2
10 artists have been invited to a workshop to explore the difference between sound, music and noise – the result can be heard at Kunstnernes Hus 6 – 7 April. This project is led by Therese Frisk and Lykourgos Porfyris, the founder of the independent record label AntiPlay Boy the Label, second year MFA students at Academy of Fine Arts.
Opening at Akademirommet: Thursday, 6 April, 18:00
“I feel like I am back in kindergarten”, thus said Kristina Kristidakis during the workshop Failing in Music Industries: a professionalization course.
Contemporary Composers vol. 2 is a cassette compilation of joyful and uncanny sound/music tracks developed through a 2 days’ workshop. In a safe environment, 10 artists had been called to question and to be questioned: What is the difference between sound, music and noise, what sounds can be produced by their bodies, what can be perceived as sound art? Can we visualize sound without notes or waveforms?
The most interesting part was that those questions had never been answered and the most important part was that they had never been asked.
Furthermore, We as tutors failed to provide them with “correct” answers and guidelines
The result of this mess?
Songs, hymns, personal myths, storytelling, spoken word, sound experiments, choir conductions, or just noise compositions are some the elements that can be found in Akademirommet at Kunstnernes Hus in Oslo.
