IVANNA MUSE came to my attention from our mutual friend, Roger Malina. He had met her during a trip to MIT and thought that she might be an interesting person to interview for the "Sound and Data" channel. So this was a bit of a cold call since I was not that familiar with her work. It was amazing to find out the angle at which she is approaching this idea of "sound and data" which was so different from so many of my other guests. I was fascinated. Her Sound Cloud
Bio: Ivaana is a sound artist, music researcher and lyrical storyteller based in Cambridge, MA and founding director of Cambridge Creation Lab, an upcoming online academy that
would offer cross genre and cross disciplinary courses in writing, music and the fine arts. Her project “A Square and a Half-The Colors are Sounding” was launched at the MIT Museum in October 2018 (project is a tribute to scientific
research and architectural spaces, connections between art and mathematical/biological findings and the analysis and synthesis of poetic and aesthetic intuition and structured inquiry.)
A Square and a Half-The Colors are Sounding-
A Tribute, By Ivaana
Carla Scaletti is an experimental composer and designer of the Kyma sound design language and co-founder of Symbolic Sound Corporation. Her compositions always begin with a “what-if” hypothesis and involve live electronics interacting with acoustic sources and environments. The listener is encouraged to first watch Carla’s brilliant keynote at the 2017 International Conference of Audio Display if possible at This Link
Gregory Kramer is a composer, scientific researcher, author, entrepreneur, and teacher. He is a founding figure in the emerging field of Sonification and published the first book in this area,”Auditory Display: Sonification, Audification and Auditory Interfaces” (Addison Wesley) The definition of sonification that everyone studying this field reads was written by Greg.
Dolores Catherino is a polychromatic composer and multi-instrumentalist. Her avant-garde compositions use sonic ‘pitch-palettes’ of 106 and 72 EDO (equal divisions of the octave) and are performed on visionary 21st century keyboard
instruments.
As a musician, she is focused on exploring new sonic worlds within a polychromatic framework which simplifies and unifies our rapidly multiplying microtonal pitch-scale methods. Polychromatic concepts of musical
‘pitch-color’ and ‘interval-color’ are also intended to simplify the exploration of new aesthetic possibilities in the practice of associative synesthetic awareness: learned associations and conceptual/perceptual integration of
audible pitch with visual color. With an undergraduate study in music and graduate study in medicine, she hopes to explore and develop integrated perspectives between the sound arts and sciences.
Barlow, who studied composition under Bernd Alois Zimmermann (1968-1970) and Karlheinz Stockhausen (1971-1973), is a universally acknowledged pioneer and celebrated composer in the field of electroacoustic and computer music. He has made groundbreaking advancements in interdisciplinary composition that unite mathematics, computer science, visual arts, and literature. While he has been a driving force in interdisciplinary and technological advances, his music is nevertheless firmly grounded in tradition and thus incorporates much inherited from the past. His works, primarily for traditional instruments, feature a vocabulary that ranges from pretonal to tonal, nontonal, or microtonal idioms, and, further, may incorporate elements derived from non-Western cultures.
Jordan Wirfs-Brock studies the future of voice interactions from a human-centered computing perspective. Her research focuses on how unexpected mechanisms—sound, taste, participatory experiences—can help people understand quantitative data. For over ten years, she has been making complex information approachable as a journalist, data analyst, producer, and designer.
