Articulation / Friction

There are various interests that need to be articulated, so that they may be represented. The situation cannot be about conflict as this breaks down communication, but should definitely emphasize a certain friction between elements.

Operatic Dialectics:

Intention / Intuition

Linguisticification / Action - Order of the Ontological Procession

Process / Product - Platonic Forehand/backhand (Scale)

Chaotic Combustion / Controlled Distillation

How many projects: 1. the opera, 2. a music improvisation scenario, 3. articulation of a new cohesion, 4. the possibility of exploring all simultaneously

The issue of power when everyone is equal

The OOFKAUU is an attempt to articulate a relinquishment of centralized control through active models. Its voice is a decentralized voice speaking all of the concerns while refraining from becoming universal. It functions as a experimental agreement between any number of possible participants - there is no content or object to the opera beyond the process of actualization of communication between willing would-be performers.

Improvised music is also concerned with the distribution, accumulation, and release of power, intention, intuition, and influence through a group of musicians (willing participants, defined more by awareness than instrumentation). Even bands based on improvisation have a leader and enter into an agreement for the participation scenario.

[Multiple voices speaking simultaneously subdues the potential potency] = but a singular voice becomes dictatorial. There must be a leader, agreed upon ideology, or shared structure in order to begin acting, and also to MAKE MEANING of the results after the act = rubric.

There is no band, only us. How do we decide how to distribute the power?

Articulation of my position

I would prefer to remain an equal member rather than the leader of an ensemble. However, considering the necessity of the leader-presence I would take up its position when needed. My interest lies in the innovation of novel instrumentation oriented on modeling communicative flow, in orchestrating and documenting scenarios of distributed awarenesses, and in documenting the results of a process active in its unfurling. Basically in transference passing through various levels of concentration.

The music that we produce seems dependent on the scenario that we agree upon. I have no specific kind of music in mind - so I'm open to anything - but I do feel that the only way I can currently evaluate the importance/necessity/value of any possible product is in relation to the efficacy of the scenario in relation to the known towards the unknowable.
