'Emak-Bakia' (Basque for 'Leave me alone') is a 1926 film directed by Man Ray. Subtitled as a cinépoéme, it features many techniques Man Ray used in his still photography, including Rayographs, double exposure, soft focus and ambiguous features.
'Rotations' is a 2013 live soundtrack created by Sebastian Janusz mirroring Man Ray movie's surrealist kaleidoscope of themes. Part-composed and part-improvised, his music tries to capture the process of dissolution between the waking state and the dreaming.
'Deconstruction of an Ensemble' is a site-specific event where public can explore the different location in the city of Amsterdam through relation between music, movement and architecture. Three musicians and three dancers perform a single composition /choreography each within separate spaces of the location. Through the deconstruction of the ensemble various spaces and acoustics are explored by the public and by the performers simultaneously. The space in the location is therefore introduced not only as a shelter to house the performance but also an intelligent instrument in itself.
This project aims to challenge the public to discover unexpected places in the building through interventions that could reveal the afterlife of abandoned or static architectural spots, redefining new stages for creative expression in an interdisciplinary level.
The relation between architecture and music has a long history. The subject is usually examined from the perspective of one particular discipline or the other. "Music, Space and Architecture" offers an original new approach that builds on the idea of space as a medium between music and architecture. Following are some of the questions raised in the contributions to this book. How does sound influence the atmosphere of a space? How does the design of space influence the sound of that space? How is this experience interpreted at the scale of urban and architectural space, in experimental forms of space and in the more diffuse realm of intrinsic space? And how can the knowledge and insight acquired through research be deployed in spatial design?
This volume contains an article "Space to Listen" by Sebastian Janusz and Machiel Spaan.
