Brief:
Produce a web based project that uses a CSS/XHTML based website and which includes embedded video that explores how informational concepts of signal and noise operate or have operated in relation to a media event/object/platform of the contemporary mediascape.
Outcome:
A band called Khuruksetra is used as the basis of this project because this band is experimenting with instruments and try to produce noises that later used for recreating the atmosphere of Bharatayudha war. There are various signals and noises in the music, which is perfect for this project. The music is used for signalling the reality and the representation of feelings, things and emotions, so the signals are in the instruments noises. Yet, there are noises that interfere the signals to get through the audience such as the semiotics of sound that accommodate range of ways to interpret the signals, the audiences’ knowledge about music and the regular kinds of music that have been circulating and creating a stereotype of what is so called music (which is something that has musical notes and arrangements). Therefore, to help understanding the meaning of the signals in the music, this project focuses on the intonations of the music from its pitch and the human body presentation codes that include physical appearances, facial expression, gestures, postures and non-verbal aspects such as tone and volume. This is because each of these represents different meanings. In addition, Khuruksetra’s music seems to redefine the idea of music and blur the boundaries between music and noise. As research materials, some readings are used as the basis of this project including, Speech Music and Sound by Theo Vanleeuwen, The Art of Music Luigi Russolo, Codes by John Fiske, Semiotics by Roland Barthes, Ocean of Sound by David Toop and Text and Textualites by Thwaites et al.
