.grrrreat idea.here's my contribution to the party MY NAME: Majena Mafe URL: http://www.sounded-language.blogspot.com/ http://www.that-unsound.blogspot.com.au <http://www.that-unsound.blogspot.com.au/> MY WORK: Focuses on the perverse affect of sound in/as language, and its implications for digital ways of saying I'M INSPIRED BY: Gertrude Stein- For being a ground breaker, ground shaker and self described genius For her introduction of the loop in language that eventually filtered through into digital sound That the idea repetition is never repetition The idea that if objects are things, so too are the word we use for them That meaning does not lie linearly She highlighted the non-definitive Her play with ear-play For her insistent sane use of disruption Honesty that written language is mock realism For highlighting the aurally charged nature of language and its connection to meaning http://books.google.com.au/books?id=H__e3ZXoYMEC&dq=Gertrude+STEIN&printsec= frontcover&source=an&hl=en&ei=8RHISZvVB4yMkAWwle3DDA&sa=X&oi=book_result&res num=4&ct=result#PPP5,M1 Meredith Monk- For sticking with her own throat sounds http://www.meredithmonk.org/ Cathy Berberian- For interpreting contemporary music, Armenian folk songs, Monteverdi, The Beatles, and her own compositions in a very throated way. Especially for best known work is her "Stripsody" (1966), in which she exploits her vocal technique using comic book sounds. http://that-unsound.blogspot.com/2008/09/cathy-berberian-trills-me.html Cathy Brietz- For her elaborate video instillations For her shots taken at media http://www.whitecube.com/artists/breitz/texts/78/ http://www.kunstraum.net/content-en/artists/index/b/candice-breitz/view?set_ language=en Pipilotti Rist- For being 'not the girl who misses much' For her insistence on the perverse pleasure principle http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pipilotti_Rist http://www.pipilottirist.net/begin/open.html Maja Ratkje- For her use of the voice as un-mediated instrumented sound http://www.ratkje.com/main.php Joan la Barbara- For her use of multiple voices For her use of multiple voices For her use of multiple voices http://www.joanlabarbara.com/bio.html Vicki Bennett and People Like Us- For the mischief For her re-examining the throw away sounding out from the 40s and 50s For the interpolation and density of sound image mashups http://www.peoplelikeus.org/index.html Janet Cardiff- For being a composer/performer intrigued by change, the subtle and the thick in sound, fascinated with voices and definitely enamored by technology. For using her voice as raw material, which she transmutes into machine noises, choral works or pulverizes "into granules of electro acoustic babble and glitch, generating animated dialogues between innate human expressiveness and the overt artifice of digital processing" as the Wire Magazine put it. http://that-unsound.blogspot.com/2008/08/janet-cardiff.html cheers Majena Mafe Let me listen to me and not to them...
