PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Concept of Initiatives

The objective of Lab>>2>>Lab–upload version –10.0 is multifaceted. We aim to work on research based on Ethnomusicological subjects by way of exchange and collaboration amongst artist, musician, scientist, theorist and international communities; professionals from the creative industries; and the promotion of creative urban youth culture. We plan to research about soundscapes and the reaction from social and environments. The research itself based on ethnomusicological study with two subjects as a major issue such as text and context subject from the soundscapes.

Format and reasons for choice

The lab work is aiming to built a connection with innovative methods of sharing and understanding to raise the value for the enrichment of social culture of Asia and Europe focusing on aesthetic and musical implementation responding situation and condition of developing countries. The series of discussions, laboratory works, meetings, residencies, festivals, presentations, exhibitions and performances will become the results of Lab>>2>>Lab–upload version –0.2 -18.0

OBJECTIVES

To classify the soundscapes and the reactions by using Ethno musicological study (Text and Context). Text will explain about the musical factor from the soundscapes such as harmony, melody, literature, and performance. Context will explain how the soundscapes effect the audience, social, and environment . We also plan worked in experimental music and soundscape in South East Asia and Europe To create a collaborative work pattern for inter-creative communities involved in this project and then to look the beneficial outputs, which were potentially, could be developed through more sharing knowledge, researches and also collaborations. To establish an interactive communications between communities and artists through working together, collaborating, sharing, research, exchange knowledge and produce something together in one laboratory.

LAB>>2>>LAB issues to be addressed

HONF as the initiator, work with Institution partners in Europe and Asia, bring these challenges of issue below as research and musical works. HONF will send the list of issues and challenges to Institutions and all those who relevant to involve to this project before the schedule of musical work begin. So they able to make further research on each challenge and issue, develop new ideas that relevant to each country conditions and situations, but adoptable. HONF bring its research of the issues in Indonesia and the ideas of laboratory works in which relevant to Indonesia situation and conditions, to some places specified for Lab2Lab project (South East Asia and Europe), then whether HONF or partners will ready with each ideas and solution to be develop in the laboratory and musical work.

IMPACT

Soundscape nowadays is one of musical piece that growing so fast and get many reactions either negative and positive. It is now become interesting because of its progress and studies. The abstraction between soundscapes and social reaction will become the short impact . The long lasting impact can become intergenerational which shapes society in general. The amount of passion and intention with the help of exposure and a dash of talent is what makes the life of a development artist and their communities more fulfilled. It is making one’s life the greatest work of art and innovation that matters most, and so others can be inspired to do the same.
