To start from Scratch (FINAL) – Karl Salzmann

In his performance lecture (and final presentation of his doctoral project), Karl Salzmann will guide the audience through his on-site sound installation. Using the turntable as a tool for artistic research, he will give an introduction and overview of his project To Start from Scratch, in which he explored themes such as the history, materiality and artistic practice of this apparatus. In addition to sculptures and videos that are part of his installation, the presentation will include sounding objects and artefacts that were part of his research process, all of which culminate in a reflective documentation that will be handed out to the critics on that day.

Ivar Roban Križić – guest lecture

Critical Improvisation Studies – Literature Review
The field of critical improvisation studies seeks to examine
improvisation’s effects, interrogate its discourses, interpret
narratives and histories related to it, discover implications of
those narratives and histories, and uncover its ideologies. In
this lecture, we will take a look at the development of this field
through its literary output–from edited volumes and handbooks,
through philosophical, cognitive, computer music and gender
studies perspectives, all the way to historical curiosities.

Ivar Roban Križić (*1990, Zagreb, Croatia) studied Double Bass at the Jazz Department in Graz and is currently pursuing an Artistic Research Doctorate at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna, focusing on the epistemology of free improvisation. His artistic practice encompasses a wide variety of international projects, spanning contemporary jazz, experimental music, and free improvisation. His research is focused on musical cognition, AI, and technical and technological extensions of the double bass.

Workshop – Hair dance of the indigenous group Tao (Taiwan)

Artistic Research Center (ARC)

In cooperation with the Department of Folk Music Research and Ethnomusicology (IVE)

 

Tuesday, 28 May 2024 3.30-5 pm

Franz Liszt Hall of the mdw

Lothringerstraße 18, 1030 Vienna

 

The Tao are one of Taiwan’s 16 recognised indigenous groups. They live on Orchid Island (蘭嶼), the Tao themselves call their island “ponso no tao”, which means “island of the people”. The most famous ceremony during the Tao harvest festival is the women’s hair dance. They gracefully swing their long hair to show their affection for their husbands and families. In the past, the dance was not allowed to be performed in daylight, so the dances often took place on the beach in the moonlight. Nowadays, however, the dance is part of the programme of during the day of the harvest festival. In this workshop, the invited Tao women will show us how to perform this dance.

 

The workshop will be held in German and English and is open to students of all study programmes.
