Experimental Music Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that explores the art of sound through voice, silence, and listening.
AboutAbout the lab
Questioning sound and voice through both artwork and research.
In experimental music, Assistant Professor Tomoko Hojo studies sound art and performance centered on voice, silence, and listening.
The research focuses on forms of the voice such as screaming and silence, and on their politics.
In education, the lab emphasizes thinking about sound in relation to the body, place, memory, and social context, and offers classes that combine lectures, fieldwork, production, presentations, and critiques.
Assistant Professor Hojo is in charge of graduation research and Special Research in Design (Acoustic Design Course).

ResearchResearch themes
Focusing on voice, silence, and listening, the lab pursues both the creation of and research on sound art and performance works. Alongside research on the politics of screaming, it also studies field recording related to the memory of places and listening.
The Politics of Screaming and Yoko Ono
The lab quantifies and analyzes the acoustic characteristics of the screams in Yoko Ono's Two Virgins (1968), examining the possibility that they deviate from norms of the female voice and transgress space. It also makes comparisons with contemporary feminist performance.
