Media, Sound, Ecology | Polydimensional Scores
Posted on | Updated
A collaboration between MDIA300 students and Vancouver New Music.
This past semester, Julie Andreyev and students in her MDIA300/VAST320 Media, Sound, Ecology course paired with musicians to create a series of eight pieces.
Guided by Andreyev and Vancouver New Music Artistic Director Giorgio Magnanensi, the students learned about and experimented with graphic notation, sound, composition, gesture and figure, all in relation to ecological approaches to art making.
The Polydimensional Scores were created using walking-creation methods to generate temporally-based and spatially situated compositions. The students chose techniques such as soundwalking and environmental listening, field recording, material collection, video, drawing, painting.
Students were then paired with a professional musician, who created a sonic interpretation of the score. Each sound artist contributed their unique instrumentation and musical style.
