IMPROSITIONS

In the „art laboratory“ of various art disciplines

What happens when compositional, improvisational, notational and interpretive processes occur simultaneously? What happens to the individual protagonists? How do they experience the whole? How do they judge the performance and the sculpture at the end of the performance? For example, how does „composing“ behave when it happens as quickly and at the same moment as improvising, interpreting and notating?

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.

CUT OUT

CUT OUT is performance and reflection in the here and now on the valences of the individual processes. Historically evolved „values“ and aesthetic cultural practices are to be juxtaposed by means of performance. „Dispositives“ of musical processes are put into a state of experimentation by bringing about simultaneity. In analogy to physical experiments, where unstable or critical moments are to be reached in order to achieve new results, with CUT OUT a performance in the „art laboratory“ is created in order to realize and put up for debate new references in music and between the most diverse art disciplines.
