Unburying, from Liminals, Emerging: into the microtonal prepared piano
(2024)
matt A choboter
My research stems from the curiosity of moving beyond the fixed pitches of western tuning and into a sound continuum of extended sound possibilities.
I ask questions like: can an acoustic grand piano be completely sonically-reimagined? why should western ears continue to be so accustomed to only one tuning system? In contrast, can “pure sounds” meet ethnically diverse microtonal tuning constellations? Can a newly invented tuning system dialogue with magnetic preparations to evoke timbral effects from Balinese Gamelan or Indian classical music? Collectively, how can this new instrument merge with spatialization and electronics to create embodied experiences for audiences? And how can all these elements be harnessed within a liminal psychological narrative?

The Unimportance of Why - exploring liminal space in narrative gaps
(2024)
Sara Key
Master in Film & Media, Thesis project, SKH/Stockholm University of the Arts - the Art of Impact 2024
Film as doing philosophy, and the liminal experience explored within the narrative gap of character creation, as a space for pre-reflective thought and attention.
Themes of Melancholy and Memory works as architecture for experimenting with spatiality and temporality.
With ideas of Film as Poetic Art, I have explored the How and Now in film acting with a tension dependent non-linear script motivated by the works of filmmaker Chantal Akerman.
What happens with us as filmmakers when we refuse to answer questions? What happens with the spectator when we refuse to give answers? Is there a gap created or are the gaps the magic that happens in between the creation?
THE ART OF THE WALK CYCLE
(2024)
Rania Ghazali
This exploration delves into the potential of emotional storytelling through walk cycles. Moving beyond traditional animation, it utilises the expressive power of modern tools to explore how line, shape, stroke weight, colour, texture, and sound can be manipulated to create abstract narratives that evoke deeper emotional experience for the viewer.
Drawing on a foundation of psychological principles, scientific research, and relevant articles, the walk cycles become abstract narratives, provoking introspection and emotional connection.
