Blues for No

This is the piece "blues for N0", originally made for a presentation at Artistic Research Forum in Oslo, March 2024. It lives on YouTube and Instagram, and is the second iteration of my bot. This time it was given a text to read, and that text had a value on its own. This is an elaboration on the topic itself, compared to the first iteration, where the text was merely a description of how the bot was working, in addition to being a reference to the source material in Alvin Lucier's "I am sitting in a room".

Title still, from the video Itzama

Creating Itzama

"Itzama" is a track I made after deciding on a method in my artistic research practice. In that practice, the goal is to find "what music comes from fusing (my own) artistic identities (or "roles"; exact wording TBA). After creating the lyrics and the music, and after recording, mixing and mastering, I discovered lots of aspects which then gave ideas for a music video.
This video in turn needs to be displayed, which gave me a lot if ideas on how to do that. So, because of the concept of stone upon stone, I now have an installation, titled: Itzama - Spirit of rain
