Class Visit – Mariana Carvalho

  • Trying different things : adding different materials to piano, experimenting with making new music instruments such as the one made from fan- friend builds instruments from trash ( similar to Kollage Kollectiv)
  • Improvise in music : play anything, experiment with music, playing music using glass, underwater music
  • Engage with each others’ musicality, trying to get out of the music “rules:, exploring new possibilities
  • Contingency planning: keep plan B if places have no piano
  • Being aware of your body affects music making/ creative process in general
  • Nylon bites
  • “Who knows how to do it?”
  • Wanted to find out how people who aren’t musicians engage with experimental music
  • Sound eating: took the risk of compromising hygiene initially – shows passion
  • She does series of work which are similar to each other but develop in different ways
  • Learn a lot from collaborating with others
  • She focused too much on the outcome of the “creating” process (if I may) and didn’t explain much about the creative process/journey
