We summarize below the 7 music proposals we did in the 3 workshops in Leipzig, February 17th and 18h : The circle<\/a>, Ouganda style<\/a>, Working with blocks<\/a>, Graphic scores<\/a>, Rhythm in opposition<\/a>, Prepared instruments<\/a> and Numbers as rhythm<\/a>.
\nWith a little foreword to begin and, at the end, some resources and links about this proposals (navigation with [\u2191] and [\u2193]).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Before anything<\/h2>\n

To begin, two considerations:<\/p>\n

\u25cf We\u2019ll try to make music and sounds unusually, differently than in most widespread way, at least to begin. For example, the melody, pitch and harmony are a very common way of thinking, analyzing and so creating music, but we could also put emphasis on other parameter such as sound, timbre or rhythm.
\nWadada LEO SMITH<\/a> speak often about music as \u201csound-rhythm<\/em>\u201d. There\u2019s a play-on-word in english, where sound could also be an adjective, as in a sound health (good health) or a sound idea (intelligent, sensible, reasonable).
Henry KAISER<\/a> wrote: \u201cRhythm, melody, and harmony have always been the least interesting aspects of music to me. I’ve always been more interested in timbre, shape, timing, space, emptiness, structure, emotion, color, and expression\u201d [in Arcana III<\/a>: Musicians on Music<\/em>, John ZORN (ed.), New York: Hips Road, 2008, p103].<\/p>\n

\u25cf We have in mind that, after the meeting in Paredes de Coura in July, we will have a large group. Next October, we will be more than 20 people playing music together: it changes the practice and organization of sounds.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Music Proposals<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

The circle<\/u><\/h3>\n

The group is in a large circle (without a music instrument to begin, but we can take them after to go on). The goal is to explore collective sound production with everybody in a more equal position than behind an instrument more or less controlled.<\/p>\n
