IMPROSITION
CUT OUT Prints for the LP BREATH VERSUS BEATS Kondo Toshinori, Bill Laswell Simon Berz 2023 Everest Records
Ink, D.I.Y. Chopsticks, Paper, Electronics
In my „art laboratory“ of various artistic disciplines, particularly during the performance of „CUT OUT“, I weave emotional coding with semiotic analysis. I „strike“ signs on paper with chopsticks that I have dipped in ink. The chopsticks are sonified and can create various sound worlds through electronics.
This serves to explore and understand new dimensions of artistic expression and the potential creation of „artistic syntaxes“.
The simultaneous execution of compositional, improvisational, notational, and interpretative processes leads to a complex and dynamic interaction of different processes.
During the performances, I create „semiotic analyses“ that artistically examine the meanings and interpretations of these signs, both within their disciplines and in relation to other forms of artistic expression. In this way, I discover new connections and relationships between artistic disciplines and allow creative synergies to emerge. The interaction with the audience and the architectural space plays a significant role. Performing in public spaces allows for the examination of the readability of the IMPROSITION by immediately showing the reactions of the spectators.
