description
Have you ever wanted to create your own music/multimedia artwork, but couldn’t figure out where to begin ? While creation can seem intimidating, it can actually be surprisingly accessible, and more importantly, FUN !
The Paramorph Collective (Kim Farris-Manning and An-Laurence Higgins) has put together a series of five exercises to guide you through vocal and sound improvisation, homemade video creation and creative writing. You can use one or many of these exercises in order to help guide the creation of your own original artwork. The series also contains one brief overview on sound and video editing.
This series of exercises was originally created by composers and multimedia artists Kim and An-Laurence for a commissioned project with the virtual community choir SING THE NORTH, leading to the creation of “suddenly I was alone/d’un tratto ero sola” (2021) with 49 singers from high-school age to retirees based in Canada, the USA, the UK, Australia and Italy. Watch the final video below.
This series of exercises is meant to be used by self-directed individuals or groups. Exercise material can be used by facilitators upon request. If you wish to collaborate with Kim and An-Laurence, or hope to organize a similar project as a facilitator, please get in touch at kfm.alh@gmail.com.
Remember that the true value of improvisation lies in the process, not in the end result.
