What do you want to make?

[collaborative research] this project is being done [partially] in collaboration with Mitsa. Together, we aim at researching and working on sound as a format for our project/s.

[for the final graduation moment] i would like to make a sound performance and/or sound installation using the audiozines, created during our research during the whole year [could make a rhythm of making one zine per month, e.g.]. Those zines would be also documented in printed zine versions [the two formats can also go together - transmedia storytelling - like some part of the content is only on the printed zine; some - on the audio].

I am struggling with finding my research question.


What could it be about? I have many ideas, some of them are:

  • methods to create audiozines?
  • methods to create collective audiozines?
  • parallel diaries - ways to connect each other by recording something in the same moment
  • sounds from the public spaces (to what sounds, noises are we exposed) - like at 1:30 AM roadworks next to my room [collect field recordings + add my personal emotions to those moments with music/abstract sounds + add keywords/illustration]
  • recording the sounds of the body (hugging...)

Interested in facilitating jams. Research pad about that is here.


[notes from interviews]

-one audio part - a sound pub - can be placed in many ways
-physical zine
-process of scheduled zine creation (they become a collection to use for performing and make a documentation of)
-improvised creations - sketches in sound
-the ideas: very meta; what are the actual contents of the zines? they can be records of specific moments - what is the criteria, how do you choose these moments and with whom
-it is about the structure and not about the topic
-put a deadline for topic exploration - until when it's ok to not know it :D
