F.10 & Noise-Silence
Vinko Globokar's F.10 is a rhythmic combination of vocal sounds, body hits and head scratches.
Pauline Oliveros' Noise-Silence is an invitation to experience, explore and reflect on noise and silence, their nature and nuances. What is noise? And what is silence? If we know how to make noise, how can we make silence? And how do we know 'when noise (or silence) feels complete'?
With the aim of artistically exploring the above questions, I performed and recorded F.10 & Noise-Silence in an acoustic measurement studio at KUG, a space isolated from its surroundings and designed to stop (or sensibly reduce) reflections or echoes of sound. I also invited dance artist and researcher Beatriz Herrera Corado to attend the session and to autoethnographically describe her experience during the performance. The notes she took, my own notes and our subsequent conversations are the inspiration for the text I created to accompany the video performance. Having realised the impossibility of capturing and conveying through audio devices the nature and nuances of the noise and silence that Corado and I experienced during the performance, the video is mainly silent.
