F.8 & XXIV
Vinko Globokar's F.8 is about 'snoring'.
Pauline Oliveros' XXIV invites us to focus our attention on an external source of constant sound, and to imagine and produce alternate sounds while remaining aware of the external source.
What you see here is the actual participatory meditation/performance of F.8 & XXIV. Before and in preparation, I led the audience in some of the exercises that Oliveros herself had developed to help participants join in her meditations. Globokar's 'snoring' was used as Oliveros' 'external source of constant sound'. By playing the snoring through a background tape and some portable speakers, the participants began to interact and respond not only to the snoring itself, but also to each other in very different and surprising ways, producing alternate sounds and thus contributing to a vibrant soundscape.
This fragment was performed and recorded* in the library of the Institute 16, KUG, Graz, on 5/06/2024.
Roman Gavryliuk - audio and video.
*All the participants have been informed and agreed on being included in the video recording.
