Préserver - Archiver - Re-produire : musique et technologie, jeux vidéo

Préserver, c'est se donner la possibilité de pouvoir réutiliser dans le futur, les objets conservés.

Mais comment rejouer les œuvres musicales à composante technologique, les jeux vidéos, quand les supports, voire les machines de lecture sont obsolètes ? Quels protocoles appliquer pour se prémunir de ces dangers ? Quelle importance donner à la communauté des utilisateurs ? Quelle est l'authenticité d'une œuvre re-construite ?

Voilà quelques-unes des questions auxquelles ce livre apporte des débuts de réponses accompagnées de réflexions plus philosophiques sur la mutation des enjeux de la conservation des archives depuis l'arrivée des nouvelles technologies : analogiques, numériques et multimédias.

Le lecteur trouvera ici réunis des articles de fond signés de spécialistes en la matière ainsi que des études de cas réalisées par des chercheurs et artistes.

Cette publication émane de différents projets de recherche européens et français des années 2010, sur la préservation des objets complexes : Caspar, Gamelan, Astrée ; elle est coéditée par le Groupe de Recherches Musicales de l'Institut National de l'Audiovisuel - Ina GRM -,  le Centre Interdisciplinaire d'Études et de Recherches sur l'Expression Contemporaine de l'Université de Saint-Étienne - Ciriec - et la Région Rhône-Alpes.

Hindustani music is a great art music tradition from the northern part of the Indian subcontinent, popularized in the west by the likes of Ravi Shankar. Evolved through many centuries, the contemporary form is primarily improvisatory, based on a melodic framework called rāg and rhythmic framework called tāl. There are various forms within Hindustani music such as dṛpad, khayāl, ṭumrī and bhajan that have different characteristics, varied musical complexities and serve different purposes. Predominantly an oral tradition, the performance nuances are influenced by music lineages called gharānās. The concert mainly includes a lead performer, with a melodic accompaniment (a harmonium or a sārangī), a rhythmic accompaniment (a tabla or a pakhāvaj) and a tānpura, which acts as a drone throughout the concert.

This activity is part of the research project CompMusic of the Music Technology Group and in included in the Art Music Of the World's concert series.

ART MUSIC OF INDIA - Carnatic music concert

Carnatic music is a great art music tradition from the southern part of the Indian subcontinent, which evolved through centuries as an oral tradition. A typical ensemble has a lead performer (usually a vocalist), a melodic accompaniment (usually a violin), a rhythmic accompaniment (usually a mṛdangaṁ), and a drone instrument (taṁbura). The melodies and rhythms in this music take their life from rāga and tāla frameworks. The compositions, in their different forms, take the central place in performances, with various improvisatory forms interlaced with them, leading to an engaging musical experience.

This activity is part of the research project CompMusic of the Music Technology Group and in included in the Art Music Of the World's concert series.

The object becomes the plane, the light will be given to the darkness, the silence reflects sound.
Overgangen, is an exploration of the distance between black and white, between light and darkness. We close ourselves in, in one of Bergen’s historic chambers and drape the windows.

Systematismens 1. Borg is a tacit construction of historical printing plates used in weed biologist Emil Korsmo (1864-2129) textbooks. Systematism pioneer Korsmo created a new economy in agriculture by classifying and measuring the value of useful and useless plants. The philosopher Steinar Bøyum will guide us through the philosophy behind moving collections and collectors. Throughout the evening, the tree-dimentional will transcend in to the two-dimensional. A silent film will remain. The food will be served within formats.

Rad # 5, Overgangen, will take place in Fortidsminneforeningen, Stranges Stiftelse at Klostergaten 28th in Bergen.

Maia Urstad has been using Projectroom 1 at BEK to rehearse for her concert performance at BLÅ in Oslo. Her composition, Crackle Stories, is part of the Only Connect nyMusikk’s annual festival of adventurous music.

Maia Urstads piece is described as an elegy for FM noise.

As standard radio technology moves from analogue to DAB, a whole world of sound will be lost: the strange yet familiar tuning noise found in the gaps between stations. Sound artist Maia Urstad’s performance is a wireless composition in which she makes a live mix of voices and interference noise from radios around the world and sends it to portable radios held by members of the audience. An elegy for a vanishing region of the sound spectrum.

Ellen Røed will show the result of her Norwegian Artistic Research Fellowship Programme with the exhibition Skyvelære at Galleri 3,14 in Bergen. BEK has supported the project with project space, studio facilities, and with technical assistance for the rigging of the exhibition. The opening is on Thursday 13th June at 19.00

Composed of the words sliding and knowing, the norwegian term Skyvelære means caliper, a device for measuring distance. In the exhibition Skyvelære Ellen Røed is reflecting on devices and procedures that are used in video art and in the natural sciences. She considers various relationships involved in creating representations; field trips, story telling, gathering or capturing of data, measuring, calibrating.

Ellen Røed is a research fellow in fine arts at Bergen Academy of Arts and Design, in The Norwegian Artistic Research Fellowship Programme, and this exhibition constitutes the artistic result of her fellowship project.

The exhibition will be opened by Dr. Werner Schmutz, director of Physikalisch-Meteorologisches Observatorium Davos / World Radiation Center.

Signe Lidén has collaborated with Ellen Røed on two installations in the show. She will also present a soundpiece in the Parabol serie in the downstairs entrance hall, curated by Lydgalleriet.

The project is supported by Bergen Academy of Art and Design, Norwegian Artistic Research Fellowship Programme, Bergen Kommune and BEK.
