Plastic Extension of Music an introduction: coyote & unveiling the invisible

Inside the Plastic extension research I decided to collaborate with the visually impaired community to develop a new project of Plastic Extensions with the music of Spanish blind renaissance composer, Antonio de Cabezón (1510-1566).

Unveiling the invisible is a project to create a new catalogue of sounds in physical forms and visual outputs, learning from participants of the visually impaired and blind community in Skåne, Sweden, to build

In 2022 I created a workshop for the visually impaired and the blind that associates sounds (isolated musical notes, intervals, instruments, musical gestures and music) with shapes, textures, resiliency, form, weight, scent, taste, verbal association, elasticity.

Associated with the tests and as a completion of the new catalogue of physical and visual sounds, a series of clay expression workshops will be held to create a new iconographic history of sound, unveiling its form through the hands of the visually impaired in a complete and new dimension of the absent physical form of sound.

This new knowledge will be used to design a series of workshops and Plastic Extensions made new methodologies of music transcription, for the deaf and hearing impaired community, creating a new direction of the research and establishing between both communities a new dialog and information from which we will learn new forms and sensations of music and art.
