TIMBRAL FRAME

Timbral frame, a wordplay between the traditional craft of timber framing and the timbre of music, is an installation-performance which explores the borders and intertwines between modified instruments and sound sculptures. The space includes a wooden loudspeaker set-up handcrafted by musician-woodworker Jaakko Arola and a sonic sculpture created in collaboration with visual artist Elisa Sakko. In the core of the performance is Arola’s bass clarinet and its modified timbre, and the loudspeaker setup controlled by sound artist Otso Kauniskangas. The performance includes collaborative improvisations by the whole working group, Noora Arola’s dance score and a set of solo bass clarinet compositions that are enhanced with live electronics.
