What Tunes Your World?
"We'll be present in the Creative Arts Building during the Festival and you may come across us as we roam the town, so be prepared to be accosted!"
Tuningworlds is coming to this year's Festival...
hcmf// will be the launch pad for this improvisation project, which runs until the summer of 2013. We will be asking you to join us and tune in to our fundamental tone (A-220Hz) with anything from an off-the-cuff 90-second improvisation to an ensemble mini-event to - well, whatever moves you.
We'll also be asking ‘what tunes your world?'. We'll be present in the Creative Arts Building during the Festival and you may come across us as we roam the town, so be prepared to be accosted. We are composers Richard Povall and Hugh Nankivell, the joint artistic directors on the project.
Everything we collect, from this point forward, will be gathered onto our website at http://www.tuningworlds.net, which will be the online nexus of the project with mashups, broadcasts, live networked improvs, and other things that grow from the project. The main thing is that there are no stylistic rules, no content rules, no length rules...just a sharing of a musical pitch as a starting point.
A performance may be a single person humming in a field, a class of schoolchildren playing recorders, a solo dancer dancing with the pitch in her mind. It may be a full symphony orchestra or a massed group of singers.
If you're inspired and would like to get involved, just email tuningworlds@auneheadarts.org.uk.
We'll be back at hcmf// 2012, bigger, better, and louder (or softer...).
