The project /2009/ started on 4th of January 2009 and ended on 13th December 2009. It was a succession of sound recordings made over the course of one year by ten artists who had each four weeks to respond to the recording of an unknown predecessor. They received no other information than the recording itself. Each recording is 7 minutes long and is accompanied by two pages in a diary. Recordings, diary and reflections are brought together in a listen book.
The aim was to investigate how we perceive music, in a more precise way than ‘I liked it’ or ‘it spoke to me' and whether it is in any way possible to ‘understand’ experimental music. The proposition of the research-part of the project was that misunderstanding could lead to creative interaction, presupposing that there is an active and open listening.
Artists involved: Julia Eckhardt Chiyoko Szlavnics Manfred Werder Aernoudt Jacobs Anne Wellmer Manu Holterbach Annette Krebs Tim Parkinson Olivier Toulemonde Mieke Lambrigts
Their contributions provide in their wide diversity a reflection of the experimental music field, which seems to be very much in flux at the beginning of this century.
The book will be released by Compost and Height.
