Personal reflection

In the SI16 I co-produced the project "...And I wish that your question has been answered". I also participated in the writing of the Manifesto of and the Terms of service of the publication. In the project I worked on the functions Respell, Stitch and Reveal, which are based on the Replace Python function. I was occupied by the urge to understand how the choice of specific words inside a text can shape our ideologies. In that sense I proposed to use the three functions on the political speeches of Mark Rutte and Kiriakos Mitsotakis, prime ministers of Netherlands and Greece, about the pushbacks on the EU borders. As a result, we came out with an interface where a user can interchange specific words of these 2 speeches with others words, characters or blankets in order to disrupt and question the meaning of the original texts.

...and I wish that your question has been answered

About

This text is a transcribed excerpt from the Press Conference that followed the meeting between the Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and the Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte on November the 9th, 2021 in Athens. During the Q&A, the Dutch reporter Ingeborg Beugel asked Mitsotakis for clarity and honesty referring to pushbacks which Greek border guards keep committing towards refugees, while the Greek Government systematically conceals such violence. She continued by asking Mark Rutte what the political stance of the Netherlands towards refugees' relocation and Mitsotakis's policy would be.

The choice of this text as our source material has different reasons. First of all, we were interested in how language can produce categories and shape identities: how does wording create precise borders between the "us" and the "them"? Our second step would be reflecting on text processing strategies through which a speech or a narration can be recontextualised and reclaimed. By replacing or taking out words of a discourse, and thus making some parts of it interchangeable, we tried to highlight how its phrasing is never neutral, but always a choice led by a particular purpose.

We decided to work on this text as the Press Conference took place at the moment we were developing our research, and as we were really interested on the distinctive rhetoric strategies that Beugel, Mitsotakis and Rutte choose for voicing their goals. It is clear that the reporter uses an emotional and provocative tone to address Mitsotakis' politics, which challenges his composure to a point where he can not keep it anymore, while when talking to Rutte, her speech is more calm and detached. In response to her question, both Prime Ministers refuse responsibility of their actions: they use a rather managerial and pre-designed language to neutralize the reporter's provocation while at the same time praising the generosity and the efforts of their countries. In particular, Mitsotakis denies any of Beugel's accusations and declares them as unsupported assumptions which is a mere demonstration of power. Alongside, Rutte uses a colder and more restrained language to rationalize the EU and the Greek Government's choices: While shifting the responsibilities for refugee protection, he actually justifies the crimes that are committed within the EU borders as an inevitable "tough, but fair, policy".

Concerning our project, it is an act of persistent resistance. We created three functions to facilitate an iterative process of refusal towards the two Prime Ministers' answers and any of their possible versions. We invite you to play as much as you want with these functions and create your own answers as counter-reaction to Mark Rutte's final sentence: "So this is my answer and I wish that your question has been answered". Every new answer, every new iteration, can be submitted to our Archive of Repetitive Answers. Although they will never be good enough, nor shall they be accepted as exhaustive, we consider the modified answers as a trigger for a never-ending dialogue.

Functions

Respell

   Respell receives as input a text as a string type, and substitute all the occurrences of a targeted word with a replacement as a string type chosen by the user.

   from nltk.tokenize import word_tokenize
   # text, target, and replacement are string types
   def respell(text, target, replacement):
       target = target.lower()
       txt = word_tokenize(text)
       new = []
       for w in txt:
           if w == target:
               w = replacement
               new = new + [w]
           elif w == target[0:1].upper() + target[1:]:
               w = replacement[0:1].upper() + replacement[1:] 
              new = new + [w]
           elif w == target.upper():
               w = replacement.upper()
               new = new + [w]
           else:
               new = new + [w]
       text = ' '.join(new)
       final= text.replace(' .','.').replace(' ,',',').replace(' :',':').replace(' ;',';').replace('< ','<').replace(' >','>').replace(' / ','/').replace('& ','&')
       return final

   This function in itself could be understood as a filter to process and alter texts. By targeting specific words and replacing them, either for another word, for specific characters or for blank spaces, the user of the tool can intervene inside a text. One could break down the meaning of a text or create new narrative meanings by exposing its structure, taking out or highlighting specific and meaningful words and detaching such text from its original context. This tool offers a broad spectrum of possibilities in which it can be used, from a very political and subversive use, to a more playful and poetic one.

Stitch

   Stitch receives as input a text as a string type, and replaces all the occurrences of a target word, with a character or a word that is repeated as many times as the length of the target.

   from nltk.tokenize import word_tokenize
   # text, target, and replacement are string types
   def stich(text, target, replacement):
       target = target.lower()
       txt = word_tokenize(text)
       new = []
       for w in txt:
           if w == target:
               w = len(w)*replacement
               new = new + [w]
           elif w == target[0].upper() + target[1:]:
               w = len(w)*replacement
               new = new + [w]
           elif w== target.upper():
               w = len(w)*replacement 
               new = new + [w]
           else:
               new = new + [w]
       text = ' '.join(new)
       final= text.replace(' .','.').replace(' ,',',').replace(' :',':').replace(' ;',';').replace('< ','<').replace(' >','>').replace(' / ','/').replace('& ','&')
       return final

   This function in itself could be understood as a filter to process and alter texts. By targeting specific words and stitching them, with a character or a word that is repeated as many times as the length of the target , the user of the tool can intervene inside a text. One could break down the meaning of a text or create new narrative meanings by exposing its structure, taking out or highlighting specific and meaningful words and detaching such text from its original context. This tool offers a broad spectrum of possibilities in which it can be used, from a very political and subversive use, to a more playful and poetic one.

Reveal

   Reveal takes a text as string input and deletes all its characters except the input list of words.

   def reveal(text,group):
       txt = word_tokenize(text)
       txt_linebr = []
       for token in txt:
           if token == '<':
               continue
           elif token == 'br/':
               token=
               txt_linebr.append(token)
           elif token == '>':
               continue
           else:
               txt_linebr.append(token)   
       new = []
       for w in txt_linebr:
           if w==:
               new = new + [w]
           elif w not in group:
               w = len(w) * ' '
               new = new + [w]
           elif w in group :
               new = new + [w]
       text = ' '.join(new)
       final= text.replace(' .','.').replace(' ,',',').replace(' :',':').replace(' ;',';').replace('< ','<').replace(' >','>').replace(' / ','/').replace('& ','&')
       return final

   This function in itself could be understood as a filter to process and alter texts. By chosing to keeping specific words of a text and deleting all the others, the user of the tool can intervene inside a text. One could break down the meaning of a text or create new narrative meanings by exposing its structure, taking out or highlighting specific and meaningful words and detaching such text from its original context. This tool offers a broad spectrum of possibilities in which it can be used, from a very political and subversive use, to a more playful and poetic one.

Personal reflection

On the Special 17 I put my attention on how can we work with more care as a group. How can we have our individual needs met, while still we meet the production deadlines. I have a lot to learn on how to express my needs and how I can contribute in a non-violent group communication. In terms of the publication, I co-developed and co-created the production of the contents. Mostly, I edited the collective inputs, while I participated in the overall process of designing and outsourcing our material.

Personal Reflection

In this Special Issue I participated as a listener, a contributor and a caretaker. It was a rich experience to unplug from the screen and listen every week to each new release. The discussion after each launch was rich. We tryed to unpack what we collectively listened to and raise questions. As a contributor I experimented with the sonic dynamics of a public space, jamming outside with bottles, creating pop national anthems, experimenting with spoken word and detuning of my voice and my guitar. I was also into field recording and editing, trying a diffractive reading of a text and a video, jamming at La Generale in Paris. I did all these alone or by being part of a duo or a trio. As a caretaker, I put together the first release with Chae and curated the 4th release with Miriam and Erica. Finally I curated and performed the diffractive dj set with Alex and Supi at the Graduation Event of XPUB2.

Thesis_an embodied journey on gender essentialism de.construction through a voice and a guitar

Introduction

Research Question

In which ways we can hear and deconstruct gender essentialism, if we approach it through a voice produced by somebody's phonatory system, or through a system of sounds emerging from a body's relation to a technological artefact - like a guitar -.

Sub-questions

I wonder in which ways a guitar located inside a patriarchal, anthropocentric and ableist culture orients a body into cis-heteronormativity and in which ways can a guitar support a fluid gender expression?
What are the consequences of technically classifying one's voice to a gender binary depending on their vocal pitch?
In which ways can a voice deconstruct these technical classifications, while connecting to the here and now of its embodied situation?
What can be the processes that help to caress and amplify queer voices, as the sound imprints created by the systemically unheard?

My guitar as regulation, my guitar as prosthesis

talking about gender through my story as a guitarist

Locating the guitar in relation to my body

"play like a man"
- introducing blue, the guitar that accompanied me while I was active in Greece.
- memories of out of placeness in jazz jams related to whom made sound and in what ways:
- Our instruments were approached as our bodies; to be tamed, to get the most out of them through constant practice, discipline and commitment.
- From Armitage and Thornham's Don't touch my midi cables : sound, technology, bodies, audience as contributors. Performance approached as a process that embraces latency, failure, slowness, things that don't work.
- Reading the jams as a space that reproduced gender damage based on competition, top down hierarchies, expansiveness
- I wonder if we can actually listen to the different relations and hierarchies involved in sound making processes.

while the guitar sits on my thighs and I hold it around my arms
- introducing the fretless guitar, that I brought with me when I moved to the netherlands
- relating the fretlessness as to: aknowledge critical voices on western music theory expansiveness. relating to institutionally undervalued, under-lighted music culture-heritage in greece
- as to re-learn the guitar's sound, to heal from my previous training and de-classify its body
- I am thinking of how my body gets touched by this guitar and how this instrument accompanies my journey of embracing queerness and coming out as non-binary.
- I wonder if this sonic in-betweenness can open up a perception of a body's fluidity.

Gender embodiment through regulatory and prosthetic devices

From Preciado in Counter-sexual Manifesto:
- Regulatory devices: technologies that repress and fabricate bodies according to a hegemonic system.
- Prosthetic devices are these that get added to a living body and become part or extension of someone.
- seeing the guitar as potentially prosthetic and potentially regulatory

My voice coming from the inside, my voice negotiating with the outside, voices mapped and transformed

traces of embodying a queer voice

-timbre as texture; timbre transmits the unique physical situation, the imprint of the body that generated it.
-from Bonnenfant: voice as social touch, as fingerprints that urge to reach other bodies. Which bodies do we allow to be reached by?
-what about those voices that have learnt to be out of reach?
-implementing experiential knowledges of frictions, misfittings and alienations around having a voice and being part of the lgbtqi+

traces of queer collective voices

- insights about the political nature of having a voice
- protest as a concerted, political sound practice for creating collective spaces
- introducing the self-organised Patras Pride
- our vocal timbres shifted; a collective queer timbre for reaching others that sounded like us / wanted to be reached by that timbre

the gender neutral classification

- the case study of "Q: the first Genderless AI assistant" in order to talk about constructing a gender essentialism in vocal sound production, based on a voice's frequency range

voice as an exit door to transformation

- From Preciado's text Another Voice: perceive someone's voice as dynamic, fluctuating; imagining relations, connections and interpretations beyond the gender binary

Jamming as a process for creating safer spaces

- jamming for creating connections
- main interest the process around the gig's preparation
- evolving a ritual of speaking out our emotions before engaging into the sound making
- building trust between us
- trying to approach performance as a process; Sound, equipment and us as co-contributors

Conclusion

Coming back to research question and subquestions.
Thinking of the future.

preparation: I refer analytically to that in the thesis

Announcement text
This Sunday the research of Supisara Burapachaisri, Ål Nik and Mitsitron will meet at a Sound Jam at WORM. We are happy to invite you to join us at #Wunderbar or online at Radio WORM - we will be part of Expanded Radio’s session with spotlight is on RE#SISTER, WORM’s very own studio community run by and for female and non-binary musicians!

Our performance will be an improvisation based on a visual score we’ve been working on during the last week. The three of us were experimenting by asking ourselves questions, connected to our current researches, part of our master programme of Experimental Publishing at the Piet Zwart Institute. We created and collected images that resonate with our research queries and turned them into cards. Those cards will serve as a visual score of our performance.

We have been questioning “performing” as a concept, oftentimes associated with perfection, pressure and preparedness. What if we focus on the process instead? Is there a way to embrace slowness, latency and even failure? To put our attention on the small scale instruments and sounds, play with the basics. To be fully present in the current moment and space. Our sound jam will explore these questions.

voice feminisation and timbre

Process for making a live coding process around vocal timbre, embodiment, gender inscriptions

first prototypes with sonic pi that influenced the final

Here are tryouts with small vocal excerpts I recorded. I tried to loop steadily and not, to pitch, to stretch. The samplews were excerpts from the text of the thesis.

From these experiments, the randomness factor was decisive in the sense of losing control. Sound modulating you as well

Thanks for listening_Graduation project

Process:
-Creating an instrument through a midi device, cables, sonic pi, a sound card, speakers, my laptop, my voice, my body for making a live coding performance
-improvising for deciding the feautures of the instruments. The code and my capabilities on the language puts the constraints and defines the ways I use my voice for the performance. -the text i voice is created through the impros in response to the instrument's sounds and through the concpets analysed in the thesis.

text introducing the performance

Thanks for listening is a live coding process, a system created by a body, cables, a borrowed midi device, a microphone, a sound card, Sonic Pi, speakers, memories, desires, discomforts and vulnerability.

The force driving this research are questions such as: How we embody gender by the ways we use our voices. How a gender binary categorises bodies depending on their vocal frequency behaviour. How sound production and instruments when located in cis-hetero spaces potentially amplify biases. And how they can potentially become a healing part of someone.

In this perfomance, I position my body as an extension of sound and sound technology. I create voice through my phonatory system, which gets modulated in controllable and uncontrollable ways. A midi controller which receives data from sonic pi is pitching, stretching and looping the voice that is plugged with, through knobs, faders and buttons. A partial narration, a passive whisper or a shout on having an ανώμαλη, anomalous voice is commented in the beginning of the code and vocalised throughout the performance.

messy pad with notes from where I chose the text for the performance

This pad got created through a series of improvisation I had with the instrument.
Through listening to the soundscape created by the my voice and the different types of stretches and pitching and respond to them through words.
I also tried to implement thoughts that evolved throughout my thesis, but in a more oral, here and now way.

representative recording

This recording is one of the many impros I had during the process of creating the performance.
The "final" thing will sound something like that.
I have some anchor points as a score that I try to reach throughout the playing.
