Digital Guqin Studio 2006, Cecilia Linqvist book w new pics in PRC edition

New Qin information, notably details of the Shosoin Qin in color from both end views
the colors are gold and light blue on chestnut rich brown - this qin shows such richness and glory, pleasure in materials of gold and ivory inlaid without restrain, without the usual air of self-conscious auto-restrain, self-uprighteousness of proclaimations of upholding THE authentic bona fide traditional values.

Digital Guqin research-creation studio
Posted by Sg, 2/20/06 at 9:03:22 AM.



Welcome to the Digital Guqin Studio

--------------------------------------------------------------

Who are we? What do we do?

Serious about having fun with the Guqin, while promoting Guqin

and guqin culture, authentic Chinese music, experimenting with

music instrument, text and images, environmental conditions for

enjoyment of this music, we want to :

A/ to preserve, promote and develop the art and culture of the

Guqin and 3000 year heritage of humanity, and

B/ develop contemporary music proper to our own time which maybe

exploring parallel paths, extending new lineages for the guqin.

In our creations, we compose delicate nuanced sound tableaux for

our contemporary listening pleasure by including other sounds.

We aim for subtle contrasts and variety to fully bring out the

enjoyment of the rich timbred music of the guqin reflecting colors

and brightness proper to our own world

C/ create an accessible sexy, fun guqin culture deploying

currently available art and technology, not necessarily the latest

technology but rather the most commonly available technology - for

example our work is on PC which is more affordable than Apple.

I like the elegant design of linex, which is free, so maybe later a

version on linex.

Fly me to the Moon (fei fei zhao yue) :

a flying sculpture showcasing Flowers from earth.

Introduction :

The Voyager spaceship in 1977 carried a golden disc,

"murmurs of the earth" a collection of earth sounds,

music, words, culture of the earth.

It has flown very high, now outside of the solar system

in search of readers of extraterrestial intelligent beings.

Here, The fly me to the moon

(fei fei zhao yue) a flying sculpture - is an

ancient hot air balloon form, tested and proven that it flies

and likely to have flown in ancient times in Peru the

balloon itself carries on an Intangible Cultural Heritage

of aviators, expression and vehicle of an archaic

human dream of flying. Like the Voyager space vessel

made by NASA, fly me to the moon

(fei fei zhao yue) also carries information of this

earth, specifically Intangible Cultural Heritage images,

and RFID tags, they are linked to extensive bodies of

blogs on earth supported by examples of human

collective efforts of story telling in blogs and the wikipedia

intended first and foremost for intelligent terrestials

readers of our earth. Our balloon would be flying at a

height for human eyes and not designed for extraterrestials.

There are 400 circular vignettes of 1.3m diameter and

4 large vignettes of 13m diameter. Each vignette carries

a visual and electronic identity which are linked to earth

via the web.

For now, I have put giant flowers as a generic universal

symbol of culture for human enjoyment. These flowers

will be replaced by more specific symbols which represent

respective Intangible cultural heritages as time goes on.

The balloon would be flown on auspicious days, decided by

individual people, or groups of people - for example, during

a festive occasion for celebration.

Digital Guqin Interactive Arts Research-Creation Studio

Creation of a digital guqin instrument, and digital guqin visual

interactive graphics to music play object using samplings.

An on-going work headed by Shuen-git Chow, begun in 2000. A small group

formed in 2003 for experimentations with guqin music/samplings as

manipulable material through visual handles and triggering device.

Started by a visual artist, members include 2 master guqin players,

and a software developer. Deploying Digital art work as interface,

samplings of guqin music are recorded and recalled through triggers

following specific designed musical rules set by guqin musicians.

Non guqin players could thus generate new guqin music through

playing with the graphics. The idea is to give access to rich

timbred guqin sound/music for an audience who could be reached

beyond standard passive listening. It is designed as an visual+

aural introduction to listening for non-guqin players, and non-

Chinese readers.
