Sound It OutEpisode #70 - Epistemology Series: Real-Time AnalysisHow can we know the improvisatory if it only happens one time? In this episode we consider the possibility of knowing a temporal process from the inside, while it is happening. Is it possible to be in the middle of an event unfolding in time and still perform ‘analytical acts’? Or do we need to freeze them and examine them later as if from a bird’s eye perspective? Hear this discussion with music theorist and trombone player Dr. Chris Stover (U of Arizona), who is (fittingly) in the midst developing a two-pronged approach to real-time analysis of improvised music. Also h...2018-01-2459 min
Sound It OutEpisode #69 - Epistemology Series: What is Improvisation?How do we know improvisation? Do we need to define it before we can research it? Or are the characteristics, causes, and effects of improvisation only knowable through that research itself? This episode is the first in a series on epistemological issues surrounding improvisation studies. Definitions of improvisation are presented, and debate over the merits of such definition is had. Post-doctoral research that circumvents the debate entirely concludes the episode: I-Ying Wu’s Daoist approach to practice-based improvisation research. Hear the voices of renowned Canadian novelist Dr. Cecil Foster, Music Professor Dr. Jason Stanyek (University of Oxford), Taiwanese qigong improviser Dr...2018-01-1059 min

Sound It OutEpisode #66 - Puffins and Piano: Florian Hoefner's Kinaesthetic StorytellingGerman-born Newfoundlander Florian Hoefner plays the piano like a puffin diving into the Atlantic. Or at least he can. He can also tell a wordless tale about the extinct Great Auk, a drifting iceberg, or even the motion of the surging ocean itself. On this episode, hear Florian Hoefner talk about his experience composing a series of improvisations for solo piano, Coldwater Stories, that imaginatively narrate his experiences of the intimate motilities of Newfoundland’s living and abiding natural beings.

Sound It OutEpisode #64 - Howling with the Wolves: The Culture of WildernessThe paradox in human relationship to wilderness is that despite being understood as a region untouched by human activity, we seek to experience this wilderness at close range. Our quests for wilderness always begin with a human idea about what wilderness is – in cultural signifiers of wilderness. One of the most prominent of these is the Wolf Howl. Hear my discussion with Chief Park Naturalist Rick Stronks of Ontario’s Algonquin Provincial Park, and a talk by Sound Artist and Scholar Erik Deluca about how we can overcome the nature/culture distinction in our engagement with the howling wolf (both with...2017-08-2357 min

Jason Robinson and others, such as Doug Van Nort and Sara Weaver, make use of this way of being together while apart to make a special kind of music, variously named telematics, distributed performance, networked performance, multi-site performance etc. One particular feature of this mode of connection (and, it turns out, of all of the ways we connect, even 'i...2017-07-1957 min

Sound It OutEpisode #59: Improvising Hospitality with Francesco ParadisoHave you every had someone over to your house, as a guest? Did you spend much time thinking about the ethics of the situation? Of hospitality? In his later work, founding deconstructionist Jacques Derrida turned toward the concept of hospitality as a way to face questions about our ability to engage ethically with alterity, or otherness. In combination with the work of Emmanuel Levinas about our primordial responsibility towards others when confronted with, in particular, their face, Francesco Paradiso brings Derrida’s ideas about hospitality to bear on group improvisation in this talk that cumulates a week’s worth of rese...2017-05-0959 min

Sound It OutEpisode #35 - Solo Improvisation at Somewhere There FestivalIf improvising is sometimes understood as a form of dialogue, what are we to say about solo improvising? Perhaps it should be understood as a dialogue with oneself, or between performer and audience, or performer and their own instrument, or even the performer’s own sonic memories, of trucks, birds, voices. Maybe it has another sort of meaning all together, a sensory-motor, embodied sort of meaning. Maybe it has no meaning at all, in which case we might wonder how it got so lucky, so pure, so empty in this world of over-signification. This past weekend I attended the Somewhere Th...2016-03-1000 min

But what would happen if we began to respond to atmospheric influences artistically, rather than just practically? If instead of cinching up our scarves we responded to the falling snow with a little improvised saxophone? And then paired that musical response with dance or video? Does the weather pattern live on, preserved in these artistic mediums, transforming itself with each performance, affecting us with its motion? These are the topics that I discuss with saxophonist, choreographer, and Montreal-based weather artist Adam Kinner. Adam brings us...2016-03-0459 min

Sound It OutEpisode #32 - Silent Communication: Interspecies Music with Kimber SiderThis show is about interspecies communication in the context of musical performance. According to today’s guest, Kimber Sider, horses are a sort of barometer for musical connection, since music is not just about sound but is a conduit to a silent embodied layer of meaning that is the basis for empathetic communication, affective connection, and emotional resonance. When Kimber Sider rode her horse Katrina across Canada, from Nova Scotia to British Columbia, on her own, she had a lot of time to pick up on the subtle bodily communication happening between her and her horse in the various landscapes, ru...2016-03-0359 min
Sound It OutEpisode #31 Social Aesthetics (IICSI archive)The Social Aesthetics Conference that took place at McGill University in 2010, put on by ICASP, the predecessor for the International Institute for Critical Studies in Improvisation, was a consideration of how social, cultural, economic and political forces condition the aesthetic practices and values of improvised performance. This is an archived discussion between researchers Georgina Born, Elizabeth Jackson, Eric Lewis, Ingrid Monson, and Jason Stanyek about how collaborative social practices at the same time they are artistic practices, and vice versa.

Championing the values of decentralization and inclusivity, the DDP facilitates opportunities for people to meet in public places and interact on a deeper level than mere verbal exchange permits; the DDP highlights a strata of connection often ignored by society: a bodily layer of communication that is accentuated in dancing and gestural expression.

Today I talk with artist, musician, singer, researcher, and performer Ruby Kato Attwood about the beginnings of her new research project into voice and identity in contemporary music. Attwood is undertaking library and archive work as well as practice based-research in opera singing in order to understanding how developing this most intimate instrument can open up new subject positions and engender a recognition of the precariousness of voice in the operatic cannon. In this conversation Attwood highlights how some voices have tended to be excluded from op...2016-03-0356 min
Sound It OutEpisode #25 - Gesture Bending and the Poetics of Schizophonia with Navid NavabThis episode showcases the work of Navid Navab, a Montreal-based media alchemist, composer/improvisor, audio-visual sculptor, and multidisciplinary artist. Navab’s catalogue of work is diverse and varied, from interactive, public, sound extravaganzas to the design of precision sonic interfaces that make medical perception in the surgery room more intuitive. Underlying this array imaginative creations is a core awareness of the relationship between gesture and sound. Navab’s work uses the familiarity of gestures, such as those involved in cooking or pouring drinks, to re-enchant the objects that accompany those gestures, using sound. By manipulating and transforming the inherent sonic prop...2016-03-0357 min

Sarah Washington and Knut Aufermann of Mobile Radio and Tonic Train discuss the relationship between their sound experiments with electronic music and the relatively untapped potential of radio as an artistic experience. Hear about their involvement in the beginnings of England’s Resonance 104.4FM, and their present relationship with 'Radia'. We discuss the essentially place-specific nature of sound in the context of simultaneous listening communities around the world, tuning-in, being surprised, relinquishing control, and the invitation to participate in creative radio ex...2016-03-0357 min
