What is sonic fiction?

You don't know? We have a slight idea.

Sonic fiction presentation by Ioana: File:Sonic fiction py.rate.chnic.pdf

You will get to know while doing:

  • listening
  • deconstructing
  • making sounds
  • recording sounds
  • naming
  • labeling
  • choosing
  • articulating
  • composing
  • performing
#tapeloops #asmr #weirdobjects #tinysounds #diyzine #fiction 

Bring to the workshop:

  • any kind of an object to deconstruct (completely demolish, it will never be the same)

The process of deconstruction

  • a laptop/smartphone (a sound recording device of your choice)

workshop structure

Part 1: GENERAL INTRO

  • What are we going to do?: ~10 min

Part 2: WARM-UP!

  • warm up excercise [Tisa]: ~30min

Part 3: AN INTRODUCTION TO SONIC FICTION

  • intro [Ioana] on decontruction sound and sonic fiction: ~10-15min
  • playlist, theory, outcomes sketch

Part 4: ACCUMULATION/PRODUCTION

  • split into duos/trios explain divide tasks
  • take a picture of the object
  • set up recording (sound (tape or digital) and video)
  • deconstruct object & take notes
  • break
  • listen & choose sound (long continuous sound of proces and sample for short loops)

Part 5: COMPOSITION

- record sound on tape (long continuous and loops)

Part 6: LISTENING & PERFORMING

  • performing a piece with the material
  • reconstruction (merging) of the objects

The exercises

for focus, asociation flow, sensibility to sound, imagination, narratives, ...

(warm up, led by Tisa)

  • Everybody stands up and makes a circle.
  • Physical warmup (each person proposes an exercise, all repeat)
  • Free movement (closed eyes, moving as you need, making sounds as they come)
  • Shaking (shaking different bodyparts and making a relaxed sound)
  • Repetition (standing in a circle, one makes a gesture and a sound, the next one repeats it as precisely as possible, and so forth)
  • Rhythm (establishing a common rythm, repetition of "rak-pak shalala", passing words)
  • Passing (one makes a sound, the next one in the circle responds with a word that describes the sound, next one translates it back to sound, etc.)
  • Associations (passing words associations in a circle - also sounds and words in any language, keeping the rhythm)
  • Onomatopoetic transcriptions (one makes a sound, everybody repeats the sound, each writes down the sound, 10x)

  • Echo exchange (people exchange the papers, vocalizing the written in a repeated manner (loop), while holding their palms in front of their mouth in order to amplify the sound for them)
  • Analog asmr (insert index finger into your ear, tap and stratch and play on your hand, listen)

Feedback:

A moment of reflection was now lost in time:

  • listen to loops & presenting tapes
  • discussion regarding decontruction in this context: Why?

Questions to improve the

  • How can we emphasize the connections between the parts more?
  • How can we define and communicate a more clear 'goal'?
    - the goal is to....
    - as a method we use...
