exquisite corpse

The exquisite corpse was a counter-narrative to the ideal body narrative that arose in 18th century. It was invented in 20th century by surrealists, as a collaborative game. The game assembled words, composed sequentially by simple rules, or randomly, by only seeing the ends of the previous contribution. Later on, drawings were introduced. When I think about it,
Creating a piece of music with a number of parts, each part is written independently of each other and then combined. setting some parameters/restraints like tempo, and key to keep it sounding cohesive. Could either improvise each part and record them, and collage them into something afterwards, or score them out and arrange that way.
For example once a day for 5 days improvise on guitar, piano, synth, and record this. On 5th day listen back to them and arrange into a cohesive piece.
Another option is do an exquisite corpse drawing and respond to it/use it as a score. Walk and make drawings informed by sight and sound.
aesthetics for texture piece
- Body, embodiment, taking up space
- Allowing for play
- Collaging different materials and colours
- Allowing for improvisation and interdisciplinary approaches to performance
- Violin and guitar, with field recording/fixed media and maybe voice, percussion
- Contact mic experiments, lo-fidelity textures, collected sound
