Society for Artistic Research. The RC is free to use for artists and
researchers. It
serves also as a backbone for teaching purposes, student assessment, peer review workflows and research funding administration. It strives to be
an open space for experimentation and exchange.

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?

Reflecting on personal experiences of being part of some groups and excluded from others makes me wonder how we connect when we are already clinging. Communities can be either chosen or forced, or both, which raises questions about how these bonds are formed and when we no longer belong.

This thesis is a fiction-based text which attempts to answer to the research question of how can art and archaeology contribute to the blending of the fictitious with the real, which has direct consequences on our understanding of (art) history.

For its Issue #2, HUB continues to develop work along the lines of artistic research, focusing its attention on multiple creative practices and the transversality of the processes explored. Marking one year since the launch of Issue 0, HUB is committed to the Research Catalogue platform and ways of exploring and viewing multimedia material that can do justice to the dynamics between content and reading and browsing modes.
