performative installation The authors of the project: Jarek Kordaczuk - music Izabela Kościesza - words Alicja Borsiak-Śleszyńska - ceramic objects Ceramic Sound Structures (CSS) is a project combining two seemingly distant fields of art: artistic ceramics and music. The traditional way to experience ceramic works is to watch and touch them. The authors of Ceramic Sound Structures expand this range of experience to listening. Yes, recipients can hear ceramics. Confront the reaction of the ear with the other senses. Experience the process of playing in time in the reception of visual arts. The shape of ceramic objects is correlated with their specific acoustic properties ... Ceramic objects placed in space are stimulated to vibrations by means of various, specially selected electric motors and solenoids. Vibrating objects make air waves - according to the principle of acoustics. So we hear their inherent sounds. However, we did not stop at the discovery of their sound qualities. By controlling motors with the appropriate interface (monoctone), combining the sounds of objects with electronic sounds and voice, a piece of music is made, which musical form causes the previously mentioned temporary experience of an artistic work. It's a bit like the pictures in the portrait gallery suddenly started to talk. The project is unique, experimental and intermedial.
Performers: Alicja Borsiak-Śleszyńska - voice Jarek Kordaczuk - driving the ceramic sound objects (monoctone) Premiere: December 30, 2017, Olsztyn Izabela Kościesza
I close my eyes
A [0:02] A1 [1:22] I close my eyes, let the wind carry me It pervades me with a quiet murmur Night is once gray, once black As if the moon did not know whether to get out from behind the clouds Or to hide in them until the morning Water from the stream sings quietly To break up with stones for a moment And I'm still swimming with the wind I disappear in his embrace I can hear only the quiet beating of my heart and my breath B [2:40] I cover my ears A loud fuss of birds permeates me through My cry follows the clamor C [4:00] I ball the body Till it hurts Until missed silence comes D [6:02] (chaotically repeated words) The rain rips me from a shallow dream The rustle of the leaves echoes in my body It swirls in the stomach wanting to get outside I exhale them with the air D1 [7:38] (repeated whole phrase) I close my eyes, let the wind carry me It pervades me with a quiet murmur Night is once gray, once black E [8:48] Until I'm completely empty inside F [9:57] Until I'm completely empty inside G [11:15] I straighten and breathe deeply Only familiar sounds around [: I straighten and breathe deeply :] H [11:59] And [12:15] I catch my breath I stretch out my hands I1 [13:18] The wind lifts me over the world It pervades me with a quiet murmur I am safe |
