[open questions project]

…Is An Idea Waiting To Materialize In Both On And Offline Spaces Where Open Questions Are Asked, Recorded As Audio & Text And Bounced Off Of  (in the form of further open questions).   One Of The Main Goals Is To Create An Online Platform Where These Questions Are  Featured And Organized In A Non-Hierarchical And Multi-Sensorial Way.

Open Questions On Open Topics Are Meant to inspire further exploration into the realm of doubt and what we call knowledge, and everyone is welcome to share (record/post) their open questions.  Listening to a question can lead into other bounced questions that relate to initial questions.  I Envision The Open Questions Project Web Platform As A Kind Of Affinity Space, Where The Process Of Knowledge Production Is Democratic And Which Acts As A Point Of Departure For Creating Possibilities And Engagement. This Project Is Currently The Topic Of My MA Thesis That Will Be Completed This July 2012. I Am Interested In Learning More About What Is Happening In The Development Of Applications, Web3.0 & The Aesthetics Of Data, Folksonomies, Audio Data Processing And The Open Movement. For A More Outlined View Of The Of The earlier stages of the project’s Conceptualization,

[intuitive electronic music]
I have been composing quite a lot of music these days, and in general, in the last 6 years. I enjoy making it and listening to it when I am taking a stroll, riding my bike, star-gazing, day dreaming, etc. So, I am pleased to share it with you here. If you like it pass it on.

The computer as an instrument – something I would have never expected. Yet, I have proven to myself that creativity is a matter of how we deal with what is actually available to us, including our intuition. Moving around quite often, I found it quite difficult to have a real piano around. Missing this big chunk of instrument, I turned to “a-s-d-f-g-h-j-k-l” and saw the beauty in technology. The unbound sound possibilities that exist through virtual samplers, synths, etc. is extremely interesting to me. However, I cannot escape my innate need to badly record any unique or even usual sound I come across with and sampling these to create new bits. I realize that sounds in nature, urban life, conversations, or my amateur guitar plucking, voice and random piano recordings keep me rooted. I don’t write lyrics, I don’t write music and I don’t plan what will happen when I sit in front of the computer and open up a new project. I look through “my [musical] bits” and collaborate with my computer to bring an unknown story into a musical form. It is an intuitive drive that allows my creativity to have a space in my life.
