HYBRID ARTICULATIONS. Then TALK!

HYBRID ARTICULATIONS    

ARTICULATE 2022 will be focussing on the interplay between contemporary technology and the arts. Artist (STUFF.), PhD. candidate (ARIA) and researcher (IDLab) Andrew Claes curated part of this year’s edition. Warm welcome to a selection of concerts, keynote presentations and lectures! Or meet the artists backstage on the beats of the closing algorave.


'Then TALK!'
Wednesday 19 October

After seeing all this talent in action on Tuesday 18 October during 'First PLAY!', one might wonder what they just experienced, or why, or how…
Usually the more thought provoking, the better. Especially during ARTICULATE of course!
Wednesday is all about the research itself.

'JAZZ HANDS: towards a Hybrid Saxophone' 
Keynote presentation
by Andrew Claes

The Electric Wind Instrument offers some peculiar benefits over the traditional saxophone, with its 8 octave span, easy fingering system and MIDI connectivity. The broad range of sounds and extremely large register opened up a considerable range of expressiveness, only partially exploited since its appearance in the mid 80ties.
After years of exploration and numerous performances, also its weaknesses had to be acknowledged and a yearning towards the seemingly endless possibilities of the acoustic sound of the sax were observed.
Being accustomed to the benefits of the electronic counterpart, Andrew Claes is dedicated to create the perfect answer: a hybrid solution that leaves the beautiful saxophone intact and expand its possibilities to the EWI-level. He is convinced that a fusion of both worlds will lead to a marriage that surpasses the capabilities of both.

‘A somatic REACh. (research in extended and algorithmic choreography)’
Lecture
by Klaas Devos

In this presentation Klaas Devos zooms in on the research process behind ‘NSv_3 (Nervous Systems version 3)’, a dance software Devos develops with his collaborators to explore interactions between embodied and computational creativity in the flow of a dance improvisation. It generates feedback between danced sensations and audiovisual materials to disclose and make insightful the hermetic nature of somatic-based dance improvisation. The interdisciplinary dance research is since 2020 at the core of Devos’ practice-based PhD in dance (at the Conservatoire and UAntwerp) titled ‘A Somatic REACh. (research in extended and algorithmic choreography)’.

‘ON_OFF_SPACE’
Presentation
by Shamisa Debroey and Stan Spijkers

ON_OFF_SPACE is a new workplace for experimentation at DE SINGEL. It unites different art forms: dance, music, word art, performance and installation art. Are you an artist looking for a residency space? Are you working in the performing arts (music - dance - theater) or are you finding a way to mix all three? Shamisa Debroey and Stan Spijkers will introduce the programme.
