Utterings/colliding interferences

In this iteration, Utterings will present their on-going practice in a mixed setup. As a networked practice, Utterings happens within the context of communicating at and across a distance. For ‘colliding interferences’, the group will explore the weird and delicate nature of the liminal space between music and language as well as the tension between live and online interaction. Annie Abrahams and Daniel Pinheiro will be physically present in the same space while connecting with others online, and investigate, through new interferences and their effect on the structure of “communication”, the implications of bringing both contexts together.

Symposium Cyberperformance: Artistic and Pedagogical Practices,
29 – 30 June, Gambelas Campus, University of Algarve.

Preparations.

Exploring: tone (continuation); (“Think of tone as the emotional aspect of a sound. The pitch, intensity, and strength of the sound are all things that determine its tone.”)

Motivations: Something to have in the back of our minds for this iteration:
- When do I feel the need to utter? Do I do it in response? against? joining? listening?
- There is tone produced from the inside of the body - There is tone produced by body movement- There is tone produced by the mouth movements

Conditions: No dangling microphones. Sitting upright on a chair if possible.
