[[http://www.ninaczegledy.net/|Nina Czegledy]] in September 2022. The piece is a community based and participative work, performed in open air, and based on the same principles as [[http://kra.land/?p=842|Fanfara Hranice]] (2011, 2018). 
  
-In February 2020 we visited Laznia, and worked on the necessary prospection, for developing the piece. Both venues where the performances will take place belong to quite different neighbourhoods. Though a similar approach for the 2 parts of the performances is being followed, the result, with the surrounding citizens, will be different. Apart from an extensive series of field recordings around [[http://www.laznia.pl/instytucja/historia-6/|Laznia 2]] (the harbour) and [[http://www.laznia.pl/instytucja/historia-3/|Laznia 1]] (the city), we worked out a further plan of action, meeting the experimental choir 441 Hz and Anna Wilczewska. Meantime the renowned luthier [[http://www.targowiskoinstrumentow.pl/hubert-poloniewicz/|Hubert Połoniewicz]], is making a replica of the mysterious medieval instrument, the geśle gdanskie. We accomplished 26 hours of field recordings as an initial sound material collection, for further analysis and re-generation electronically. We came back home and started to work preparing the initial the score for the choir. [[BirdSongs]] is the working title. +In February 2020 we visited Laznia, and worked on the necessary prospection, for developing the piece.

We accomplished 26 hours of field recordings as an initial sound material collection, for further analysis and re-generation electronically. We came back home and started to work preparing the initial the score for the choir. [[BirdSongs]] was the working title. The piece would be throughout the years mentioned as Marching Choir, Fanfara, etc. and was several times postponed. Meantime we played some online concerts together with Krzysztof Topolski, and we continued to work together to perform the piece in Gdansk where Krzysztof is living. As a percussionist, he introduced a more rhythmical approach, including playing on handheld small instruments, which enriched the piece tremendously. Also it kept the performers and audience moving, which was one of the essential aspects of the performance, being originally based on a dynamic  [[DvaMetri | dva[2]metri]] choreography. (OK we dropped the DIY hand held solar operated electronics but stay (un)tuned and we will come back to it later)
  
-Somehow the pandemic lockdown of borders and cities came in the waymaybe the political tendencies in Europeto discredit the independence of art and cultureas wellBut artculture and the social are in flux, and from mansion in the highlands, surrounded by natural sounds, we continue to work +The final performance was set for September 16th, 2022. The 441 Hz choir could not perform it but then the [[https://www.facebook.com/chorUG | Akademicki Chór Uniwersytetu Gdańskiego / Gdansk University Choir]] proposed to step in and rescue the performancetogether with a bunch of visiting international Erasmus students from Split, Malta, Cadiz and Brest. We met an open minded and dynamical group, full of energy, directed by the flamboyant directors Marcin TomczakAneta Majda and Magdalena Niestoruk. Krzysztof Topolski performed on big 24" bass drum inspired by the walking and making music on the move traditions of New Orleans Second Line and Street Beat drumming. Some rehearsals, some talking, some singingit all went smoothThen suddenly, in a magical mix of humans and others, while the rain was pouring down, we had an unique performance, among a puzzled and amused audience...
  
-Fanfara Gdansk consists of 3 parallell groups:  +===== Text 1 (For Laznia Gdansk) ===== 
-  - The [[ http://441hz.pl|441 Hz]] Choir (20-30 moving singers), with director Anna Wilczewska;  +
-  - Youngsters making their own [[lovmi_sensors|LOVMI]]'s (10 Low Voltage Music Instruments with IOT sensors)- notice that this can be wired into the live generated version of the score for the choir, and the electronic parts of the DIY-Gęśle instruments;  +
-  - Additional musicians and sound artists (10 DIY instruments based on the mythological [[http://zywiolak.pl/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/G%C4%99%C5%9Bla-gda%C5%84ska.pdf|Gęśle Gdańska]])+
  
-What we are working on now +https://www.laznia.pl/wystawy/sensoria-sztuka-i-nauka-naszych-zmyslow-400
-  * the making of an initial [[BirdSongs | score]] for the choir, and its dynamical changes later on while adding the other groups, including the choreography which is the blueprint also for the interactions with the score;  +
-  * the preparation of [[lovmi_sensors|LOVMI | prototype]] raspberry pi's with footstep and environment sensors, and code examples for later workshops with youngsters (8-11, 12-17 years old);  +
-  * the 3D models for building modified DIY geśle gdanskie instruments (no one knows how this archeological recent find was played), to be integrated in the [[lovmi_sensors|LOVMI]] instruments+
  
 +Guy Van Belle in collaboration with Krzysztof Topolski and the Gdansk University Choir present Fanfara Gdansk performance using a simple and open setup for the participatory visitors/performers. For centuries the arts were rather interested in the non-human expressions around or communication and phenomena that we faintly or hardly understand. To quote Paul Demarinis "Music is sound to my ears”. The sound score gives an indication of discrete and continuous time, pitches and amplitudes, complexities and silences, some combinatory ideas, etc. in the form of sounds you can listen to, sing/play along with it or counter, imitate and enrich it... The expressivity and performativity aims at providing a real time interpretation of the sound score.
  
 +The Fanfara Gdansk performance consists of a backtrack with recorded and computer generated birdsongs, which is transmitted over local FM, and received by the musicians on headsets from their phones, tables, portable radio receivers. All musicians are 'singing' along with the birdsongs, but they can also bring additional small handheld objects that produce sound: battery operated electronics; resonating objects, … some megaphones and small amplifiers will be available, but all wearable.
 +The singers from the choir move slowly in formation together with the additional musicians and participatory audience, towards the entrance of the exhibition. Any single movement from the musicians and the audience influences the position of the others.

-We are updating the information about the relevant sections below... +The Gdansk Fanfara (2022) consists of a listening score, with recorded and computer generated birdsongs, transmitted over local FM and streamed on internet, and received by a choir on individual headsets from their phones. All musicians primordarly 'sing along' with the birdsongs, and play sound on additional small handheld objects of their own choice, while moving along among the audienceAs such the music is created only by listening to a non-human expressivity, interpreting what is perceived and acting towards a group presence – because it is including the visitors - within an always unexpectedly changing context, like the weather circumstances.
