Die Schönheit der Vergänglichkeit

Se-Lien Chuang, and Andreas Weixler

Proceedings of the International Conference on New Interfaces for Musical Expression

Abstract

The illustrated structure and the organization of lines and strokes are the essence of the Chinese calligraphy. In an artistic analogy to musical expression, the rhythmic dynamics of the hand, the time-shifting method, the articulation of breath, the wet pen/dry nib and the speed of pen movement during the writing-process-momentum combine the characteristics of time and space in a distinctively individual and an immediately compositional way. Here is the occasion to pick up the brush again for the desire of linking the beauty of the cultural treasure with the globally interconnected understanding of contemporary music.
