Abstract:

Self-Built Instrument project is focused on sound performance with an experi- mental instrument which is composed of strings and metallic sound box, pro- ducing overtones, harmonics and feed- back. It is capable to play with different sound colours : Resonances by cooper, bowing on strings, overtones and feed- back. All of factors triggers each other's sound. It is not a point to play a specific tone or to make a musical harmony, because the instrument is not able to per- fectly control. Playing this Instrument is a challenge to your capacity, such as gestures and sonic phenomenon following sense and space. The artist composed a piece and use few repertoire partly, however, mostly it is interesting to find what kind of sound comes to nest in mesh. The Artist tried to get over typical aesthetics of classical music, such as using precise pitches, melodies, and read scores. Instead of that, her approach towards to discover unusual sound elements which are considered as mistake in tradi- tional way. And play with them, for instance, strings without tuning, hitting a stuffs, unorganized pitch, also so-called clicker which happens unskilled.
