This a special Q&A session as a follow up to the previous day’s performance lecture.

Zen Masters Na Rin Bit & Ga On Bit have been working with the inter-changable nature and transformation capacity of sound and its results on the human body, environment and the instruments itself since 25 years. In Buddhism Boddhisatva Guan Yin reahed the enlightment through listening to repetitive sound. In this working session we will learn to listen not just with our ears but with our inner being, while doing that we will observe the repetitive patterns in our lives and relearn to use the sound to heal ourselves, calm and control our minds, reach at the deepest recesses of the mind and to activate our inner power. Filling all the empty ‘lots’ in our bodies with sound, we will experience turning our attention from outwards to inwards and make a step forward to discovering ourselves.

The lecture will be on the merging of the object (voice) and the subject (the performer) through sound. In order to have Sanskrit mantra chantings to have deep meditative aspects, the words uttered have to be heard as if they are an external sound. The words become objects, the subject and the object merges and in the end, neither the subject nor the object exists. It is only the voice/ sound that has its presence.

After an intense week where Saadet Türköz works with 11 Field Kitchen Academy participants, with a special focus on natural voices and sounds with free improvisation; the outcome or the works in progresses will be opened to public view.

Saadet Türköz is a Kazakh-Turkish singer, composer and a shiatsu therapist who currently lives in Switzerland. Her ancestors were nomads who migrated from Semey in Kazakhstan to East Turkestan from where they fled via India and Pakistan to Istanbul. Türköz’s first recordings were influenced by the folk music of her homeland, East Turkestan; in recent years, her repertoire has widened to include improvised music and modern interpretations of Turkish and Kazakh music. New music became increasingly important to her and she began to feel at home and understood in Zurich’s eclectic free music scene. Türköz recorded her album "Kumuska" with the American composer and multi-instrumentalist Elliott Sharp (b.1951), the great artist of the world of electric, metallic, raw sounds as well as complex and groovy rhythms. By now they are trusted partners, having known each other since the 1990’s and first recorded together on the album Marmara Sea. Jazz critic Manfred Papst writes in the liner notes: “Saadet Türköz is a charismatic shaman certainly, but not the pompous kind. She has a sense of humour, and even when her head is in the clouds, her feet are on the ground. The words and sounds illuminate daily life.” www.saadet.ch

The Acousmatic Lectures have roots in discursive practices and propose a listening experience based on the Pythagorean acousmatic model: a mode of presentation in which the speaker is hidden from the public. Acousmatic Lectures encourage both orator and listener to focus exclusively on the acoustic space that provides a frame for the spoken word, its temperament and tone, without the addition of visual information or the speaker’s body language. For this series of lectures, all visual clues generated by the speaker’s facial and bodily expressions (which normally influence how information is received) remain hidden. Nevertheless, the speaker’s voice and its dissemination in the surrounding environment still convey the speaker’s physical presence. This approach underscores the dialectical conflict between abstract and sensorial information, confronting us with an array of decisions specific to the act of listening itself.

Mario Asef is an architect and conceptual artist based in Berlin.

As we discuss the perceptions of voice as objects, and objects having voices to be heard buy us humans and other objects, Field Kitchen Academy hosts a special ventriloquist guest to elevate the subject.

Daniel Reinsberg was born in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia's capital. He grew up in Hamburg, Germany, and discovered his love for the stage already in his early years of school. Workshops in pantomime and magic were the first exposures, followed by singing lessons, ventriloquism and juggling. Very soon his first performances in small theaters followed.

In this seminar, Zeynep Bulut will talk about multi and cross-sensory interactions between voice and environment, drawing on examples in sound and media art. She will suggest considering a voice which is not limited to human body or mediums of verbal language. Employing her notion of “voice as skin,” that is, voice as a multi-sensory interface which both connects and differentiates the bodies, she will discuss how a voice is not pre-determined or fixed but made individually and collectively.

Zeynep Bulut is a Lecturer in Music at Queen’s University Belfast. Her research interests include voice and sound studies, experimental music, sound and media art, technologies of hearing and speech, voice and environment, and music and medicine. She is currently completing her first manuscript, titled, Building a Voice: Sound, Surface, Skin. Her articles have appeared in various volumes and journals including Perspectives of New Music, Postmodern Culture, and Music and Politics. Alongside her scholarly work, she has also exhibited sound works, composed and performed vocal pieces for concert, video and theatre, and released two singles. Her composer profile has been featured by British Music Collection. She is sound review editor for Sound Studies: An Interdisciplinary Journal, and project lead for the collaborative research initiative “Map A Voice.” https://pure.qub.ac.uk/en/persons/zeynep-bulut

Since the time of Immanuel Kant, "formalism" has been a pivotal topic for both the arts and architecture. In the simplest sense, formalism refers to the idea that a work of art or architecture is cut off from its surroundings. Anti-formalism would mean, by contrast, that a work simply cannot be cut off from its social, political, or biographical context. In Art and Objects (2020) I tried to show that while a certain degree of formalism is inevitable in the arts, this cannot take the form of separating art from its beholders, as both Kant and Michael Fried attempt to do; art is innately theatrical, though still cut off from its environs nonetheless. In the freshly published Architecture and Objects (2022), I claim that both form and function in architecture have been interpreted in too relational a sense, and thus in too non-formal a sense. The way forward for architecture is to move in the direction of what I call zero-form and zero-function.

Graham Harman is Distinguished Professor of Philosophy at SCI-Arc. His most recent books are Object-Oriented Ontology (2018), Speculative Realism (2018), Art and Objects (2020), and Is There an Object-Oriented Architecture? (2020, ed. Joseph Bedford). He is Editor in Chief of the journal Open Philosophy, Editor of the Speculative Realism series at Edinburgh University Press, and Co-Editor (with Bruno Latour) of the New Metaphysics series at Open Humanities Press. Forthcoming books within the next year include Skirmishes (punctum books), Architecture and Objects (Univ. of Minnesota Press), and Waves and Stones (Penguin). His writings have been translated into twenty-four languages. Prof. Harman has also taught at the American University in Cairo, the University of Amsterdam, the University of Turin, and Yale University. www.doctorzamalek2.wordpress.com
