Welcome to Sound Projects

Sound, Noise, Silence, and Music - how do we define them? When we listen to these elements critically, how can we use them in our own work with an awareness of their social and political functions? This course will explore developments in sound art from the early-20th century to the present, to cultivate a critical ear for listening and creating. We will listen to work by artists who have blurred traditional boundaries of music, science, design, fine arts, and philosophy, and read critical writings in cultural studies, sound and media theory.

Meredith Monk/John Cage with Roland Kirk

During the weekend I discovered some artists and very interesting links that I would like to share.
One is the american artist Meredith Monk. It is really amazing how she uses vocals. (it might help Burcin for her project)

Performances and concepts of her in a documentary film of Greenaway in ubu.

and a song I loved assembled only by recordings of her voice
Meredith Monk – Walking Song

and finally a video from John Cage with Roland Kirk that refers to a lot of concepts of our readings.
