The project //2009// – what do you make of what I say? involved ten sound artists who created a 7-minute piece in response to a composition by an unknown precursor. They were given no secondary information in the process, since the intent was to explore how exactly we perceive sound information when taken fully in isolation.
The project was carried out at Q-02 throughout the year 2009; the works are by Julia Eckhardt, Chiyoko Szlavnics, Mieke Lambrigts, Manfred Werder, Annette Krebs, Tim Parkinson, Olivier Toulemonde, Manu Holterbach, Aernoudt Jacobs and Anne Wellmer.
The aim was to investigate how we perceive music, in a more precise way than ‘I liked it’ or ‘it spoke to me’ and whether it is in any way possible to ‘understand’ experimental music. The proposition of the research-part of the project was that mis-understanding could lead to creative interaction, presupposing that there is an active and open listening.
