Tape fulfills various functions: it wraps up things, it holds disparate elements together, it demarcates areas...
As a visual element it creates lines, strips, ribbons...
As sonic material, tape can also generate an interesting palette of sound. It can be stretched, ripped and crumbled... When peeled off a surface on one hand it reveals its resonance, depending on its length and material. On the other hand it sonically reveals the texture of the material that it was attached to.
Using tape to generate sound also entails performative actions.
In this workshop we will create a performance by using the properties of a room and various tapes. The tapes will be used as a visual element (possibly a score) which is demarcating and structuring space. By interacting with it, it will turn into an instrument.
Aspects that will be employed are:
- use of microphones as instruments;
- recorded sound;
- physical and theatrical interactions;
- graphic scores;
- to be continued...
The workshop starts on Monday, November 2 and ends on Wednesday, November 4 in the evening with a short presentation.
