- 0:13welcome
- 0:14to indie genius
- 0:18the culture of improvisation
- 0:23innovation and creativity
- 0:27this is diner seesaw
- 0:31[Music]
- 1:10so
- 1:13improvisation is is a common word
- 1:17it is used by anybody it is issues by
- 1:20everybody
- 1:22not just the artists people are doing
- 1:25this unconsciously
- 1:26if they can encounter a
- 1:29uncertainty or certainties in their
- 1:33lives for example something to
- 1:35solve the problem sometimes you
- 1:38improvise
- 1:40is the act of improvising and innovating
- 1:42to find a solution
- 1:44for a particular circumstance it also
- 1:47means
- 1:47transformation or borrowing
- 1:51it is all commonly used in music theater
- 1:54and performing arts and
- 1:59for me to be able to rationalize
- 2:03and contextualize the relevance of my
- 2:06action the relevance of
- 2:09[Music]
- 2:10this art activity as part of my creative
- 2:13process
- 2:14i borrowed some concepts
- 2:17and anchored my idea to
- 2:21articulate it example from
- 2:26some scholars did not mention about
- 2:28improvisation
- 2:29but they use other terms to explain it
- 2:33johan and madeleine rose
- 2:37utilized the word spontaneity so
- 2:40spontaneity is a term always
- 2:43associated with um it is actuated
- 2:46directly to
- 2:46improvisation because it's the actual
- 2:48it's this the spontaneous
- 2:50is the flow of fluidity
- 2:53even kant is
- 2:57he described improvisation as the
- 2:59emergence
- 3:00it's an act of a particular moment or
- 3:03you use the word sponta spun tanitat
- 3:06while moreno mentioned about the
- 3:08readiness of the subject to respond as
- 3:10required so this is
- 3:12a a response no a direct response to
- 3:17question to a problem or a solution
- 3:22and it requires only basic
- 3:25uh ability on the common sense
- 3:28merrill men use the word anak so it is
- 3:32the actual an action
- 3:34aristotel use the word pronesis or
- 3:36practical wisdom
- 3:38so very simple practical wisdom
- 3:41refers to the common sense it refers to
- 3:43the ability
- 3:45to ability of the person to
- 3:49[Music]
- 3:51solve a certain issue or
- 3:55to respond on a certain act or an
- 3:58encounter
- 4:00some people use the word sport of the
- 4:02moment
- 4:04[Music]
- 4:05now some use the word ba it's a japanese
- 4:09term for knowledge creation so
- 4:11that is one thing good in improvisation
- 4:14this is not just an escape not an ugly
- 4:16but
- 4:16it allows the the individual the artist
- 4:19to
- 4:20somehow know to meet the accident
- 4:23or at the same time be able to draw out
- 4:26something a technique
- 4:28it can also be an aha or a yorica
- 4:33improvisation as described in
- 4:37other art forms means thinking and
- 4:39acting spontaneously
- 4:41it's an on the spot a theatrical
- 4:44improvisation with no script
- 4:46that's according to matuzak for dave
- 4:49morris suggested that improvisation is
- 4:51the act of
- 4:52improvising being spontaneous and making
- 4:54stuff
- 4:55up the next slides are
- 4:59are evidences of improvisation in the
- 5:03everyday life
- 5:04and encounter this in the early stage of
- 5:06my
- 5:07my exploration towards improvisation not
- 5:10just
- 5:10in the field of the arts but also in the
- 5:13everyday life
- 5:14and the this one is a street performer
- 5:17in panama city
- 5:18i was astonished uh and amazed with izab
- 5:21he's aside from his performances his
- 5:24bicycle because everything is there his
- 5:26things
- 5:28the battery the amplifier the speaker
- 5:31are all installed in the bicycle
- 5:33it's very good the next slide is a our
- 5:38toys these are improvised toy a speed
- 5:40boat by the elementary students in santo
- 5:42tomas
- 5:43central elementary school del norte i
- 5:46saw them i when i passed by i saw them
- 5:50playing
- 5:50so i was curious and i saw this
- 5:53this is a an artwork that this is a
- 5:57functional a toy and i was joking about
- 6:00it that this is a
- 6:01project between china america
- 6:05and philippines the the plastic
- 6:08is the other case is america
- 6:12and china is the rubber ban and the
- 6:15philippines is the barbecue stick
- 6:18and it provides team the next one is a
- 6:21an improvised four-wheel
- 6:22farm car i also found i found it i
- 6:25i discovered this in santo thomas public
- 6:28market
- 6:29um everything is 100 is actually done by
- 6:32a local look at the creativity
- 6:35this one is an improvised gasoline tank
- 6:36and i was looking to
- 6:38this motorcycle was the castle in tank
- 6:41but
- 6:42even use the plastic container
- 6:46the oil plastic now let's go there for
- 6:49the oil as the
- 6:50source of the gasoline and look at the
- 6:53rubber
- 6:53that they use as also an interior of the
- 6:56uh
- 6:57of a tire
- 7:02the next one is the the way we name
- 7:04cookies and bread and bakery
- 7:06filipinos love even i i love the napa
- 7:09with tape but what i enjoyed there most
- 7:12is the
- 7:13how they play with names naming the
- 7:17cookies and bread huffman
- 7:20boron hopia bulbari yoyo
- 7:23and torta raisin cake
- 7:26but you know glass i experimented
- 7:30i bought one each
- 7:34kind but when i tasted it they're almost
- 7:37the same
- 7:37yeah my joke is it's
- 7:42a lot the other one is an improvised
- 7:45shade for a hubble habal
- 7:47from a tarpaulin ads in montevista
- 7:50now the body or before it's combat look
- 7:53at this the
- 7:55before the for before the commercial
- 7:58plastic cover they already explode aside
- 8:01from that is the
- 8:03top load the upload is the design term
- 8:06for top load
- 8:07so it is appropriated for passengers and
- 8:11even local tourists love to stay on the
- 8:14top inside of
- 8:15the the seats under
- 8:18this tricycle is a design influenced by
- 8:21rolling hills and mountainous air
- 8:23terrain
- 8:23in pagadian city this is the best
- 8:25example of form fallow's function
- 8:28it is counterweight to be able to
- 8:31drive into uphill and downhill
- 8:36the other one is a calendar inspired
- 8:38tracy karinosami
- 8:39if you look at it it has a different
- 8:43design
- 8:43it is uh influenced by
- 8:47the old plaque an encounter with
- 8:51a ethnolinguistic uh
- 8:54group it was actually was uh
- 8:58doing a performance during christmas uh
- 9:01this is 10 or 15 years ago um
- 9:05i i was amazed because of a two-string
- 9:08guitar with the speaker
- 9:10microphone tape deck
- 9:13then if you notice there are other parts
- 9:16installed into that instrument
- 9:17that the traditional instrument the
- 9:20tuning keys
- 9:21are still in traditional format but at
- 9:24the back of the bodies
- 9:26there's battery and in front when you
- 9:29open it
- 9:30there's the tape deck
- 9:33so i asked him why so every time down uh
- 9:39he start playing he can play the
- 9:42record then or if he wants accompaniment
- 9:45he can also play it
- 9:46or in case the
- 9:50string he can play and just pretend that
- 9:52he's actually playing
- 9:54uh the uh pick still traditional but
- 9:58instead of using the abakka he used the
- 10:00nylon string
- 10:02and even under the trompano a speaker
- 10:05so this is something new so like this
- 10:08there's a microphone also in the
- 10:10in the instrument so i asked him
- 10:29another that interests me is the
- 10:32improvisation
- 10:33in apaya in a vernacular house
- 10:36so i am interested in this because of my
- 10:40love of the countryside so if you notice
- 10:44uh i mean dried coconut leaves
- 10:47are used as toothpick wood planks a step
- 10:50on and branches
- 10:52[Music]
- 11:11like the old sleepers as stoppers
- 11:14plastic containers as a funnel
- 11:18and even discarded galvanization as used
- 11:21as a gutter
- 11:23and start pulling posters from the
- 11:26cities are also reused as protection
- 11:29from rain
- 11:30or used as florma used as covering
- 11:34and even the net
- 11:37from a garden was also used as a fishnet
- 11:40and even a discarded metal was used as a
- 11:43scraper
- 11:44even the broom and dustpan
- 11:47was actually made from a plastic
- 11:49container
- 11:51and even the plus wrappers are also used
- 11:55to tie up the broomstick
- 11:58and all the the
- 12:02the materials there the plastics are
- 12:04reused
- 12:06and even the trees are converted into
- 12:09hangers
- 12:10or anything that you can put something
- 12:12they so the improvise
- 12:14everything is fluid the space is
- 12:17is alive and
- 12:22this is one thing that i notice with
- 12:23improvisation is that
- 12:25these are the movements the
- 12:28action the choreography that
- 12:31everything you can hang
- 12:34you can insert something you can
- 12:38do multi-functional space for example
- 12:40the
- 12:41veranda is for resting and it's also for
- 12:44receiving sea tours
- 12:45and for storing our vested crops and
- 12:48they
- 12:49to the extent of the the door was even
- 12:51used for a
- 12:52formula for a last two digit
- 12:55gambling and cleaning is also part of
- 12:59the
- 13:00activity you know the action that was
- 13:02used for improvising
- 13:04you can lean anything anytime in
- 13:07a farm in its vicinity
- 13:10even tying is one action also
- 13:15padella's door handle
- 13:19then the space are well
- 13:22but they're also there are distinctions
- 13:24of spaces some
- 13:26dangerous objects and elements like
- 13:28pesticides and organs are put
- 13:30on the on the top of the area of the
- 13:32house
- 13:33or the post but they're also donating
- 13:37spaces of sacred and private space the
- 13:39altar
- 13:41but they also put there the sprayer
- 13:44so but this particular utilization space
- 13:48they also
- 13:49change from time to time also the
- 13:51important
- 13:52the even the definition of space are
- 13:55also improvised
- 13:57put a bamboo but you can run over it you
- 13:59can step over it but
- 14:01just an installation just to remind you
- 14:03of a friendly territorial mark
- 14:08now this is what i realized that
- 14:12filipino houses filipino space either is
- 14:14a jeep that's a tricycle these are all
- 14:17extensions of the if you notice the
- 14:18design
- 14:20these are all uh according to antolia on
- 14:22his uh
- 14:23in her research that it's a culture of
- 14:26improvisation is a way of life
- 14:28it's characterized by adaptation
- 14:30creativity and innovation
- 14:32um and instead every day aesthetic
- 14:36it's different from the perspective
- 14:37looking into fine arts and
- 14:39other art forms in the mainstream then
- 14:42another thing that i learned from
- 14:45um this observation with the filipino
- 14:48spaces
- 14:49is uh the concept of de leon philippe
- 14:52philippe de leona the common filipino is
- 14:55a maximalist
- 14:56filling up every available space with
- 14:58forms and things
- 15:00so it spins from an expressive
- 15:02exuberance deeply rooted in emotional
- 15:04sensitivity
- 15:05and a strong urge to connect so to the
- 15:07extent they even use this as a
- 15:12as a representation for achievement or
- 15:16narrative or memories
- 15:21so even the way we deal with people
- 15:24they it's a fluid thing spontaneous
- 15:28young
- 15:29interaction now this time we will
- 15:32explore the
- 15:33my improvised instruments or my diy
- 15:36instruments
- 15:37this one is a battle this is one of the
- 15:39oldest instruments that i made
- 15:41these are this particular instrument
- 15:45by a pentatonic
- 15:49composition arrangement
- 15:52but the sound are based not only on the
- 15:57uh not by
- 16:00notes but based on the sound and pitch
- 16:02of the battle and their arranged as is
- 16:05and it's also inspired by the story of
- 16:09my
- 16:10mother that uh you know the sound of the
- 16:13shell when you put that in your in the
- 16:16beach
- 16:16[Music]
- 16:19i haven't experienced that now because
- 16:21you can no longer see
- 16:23conch shell in the along the shoreline
- 16:25but i was able to experience that
- 16:27in a decorative a
- 16:31conscious display in the house the next
- 16:34one is um
- 16:36an instrument these are found in the
- 16:40shoreline but they are actually from the
- 16:42mountains and uh during flood
- 16:44they went away to in the shoreline they
- 16:46are now
- 16:47soaked uh in salt water so it is not
- 16:51preserved
- 16:52so what i did is i assembled it i clean
- 16:54it up for
- 16:55almost a month under such time
- 16:58by instinct and then put my crack
- 17:02open so by putting up using a
- 17:06phenomenon top between three food and
- 17:08who i
- 17:09arrange
- 17:10[Music]
- 17:14the next one are my instruments using
- 17:17the
- 17:18miracle fruit and the white actually are
- 17:23left in the school these are used for
- 17:26armies
- 17:27all the materials there are found
- 17:29objects even even
- 17:31the they're all inspired also by
- 17:32indigenous the same exploration of a one
- 17:34string guitar
- 17:35they are fretless the casseroles to
- 17:38string vibrato
- 17:39those in guitar sound almost the same
- 17:42with the secret sound you can even see
- 17:44the
- 17:44even a wooden
- 17:48station to be as a bridge this one is uh
- 17:55you have to use a bow to
- 17:58to produce a sound you know high-pitched
- 18:01sound
- 18:03and this one is a three-in-one vibrato
- 18:05these are actually a combination of
- 18:07kalimba and pipe and battle
- 18:11this one is another instrument this is a
- 18:14tank from a motorcycle
- 18:18this one is a sprayer this one is a
- 18:21sound effects
- 18:22producer i also use
- 18:26discarded parts of the instruments like
- 18:28the tuning keys
- 18:29even the um belt from
- 18:32from the bicycle some parts of the
- 18:34motorcycle some parts of the
- 18:36anyway you know so there are springs
- 18:40the sounds uh it produces an eerie sound
- 18:45this one is a this is
- 18:48uh by the way all of these artworks are
- 18:52are visual they are decorative but at
- 18:54the same time
- 18:55you can also use it you can also use tc
- 18:57in a performance
- 18:59this one is a battle you can actually
- 19:01play this by carrying it like this
- 19:03it's a big work
- 19:06touch the spring they will create
- 19:08vibrations and when you put some
- 19:10when you amplify this you create a
- 19:12different sound a different
- 19:13uh vibration a different uh tone
- 19:18this one is a two single vibrato for an
- 19:21object a real takori
- 19:22and i use the the battle as the
- 19:26slider it's only a one swing guitar
- 19:33this one is um sound box so this is the
- 19:35first sound box i made that that
- 19:37was exhibited in manila in makatin
- 19:40the title so mine teratera means the
- 19:45not just food leftovers the tirana
- 19:47commentary but
- 19:49these are always discarded things you
- 19:51said you can actually play with it there
- 19:52are strings
- 19:54you can scrape it you can touch it and
- 19:57it is also amplified
- 19:58uh this is a time piano inspired by
- 20:02kalimba
- 20:03uh but instead of using the kalinda
- 20:07the african have their own way of
- 20:09musical notation
- 20:10what i did is that i i tried to imitate
- 20:13the kolintang
- 20:14uh using the pentatonic or the seven
- 20:17notes but uh
- 20:20but somehow i only use five notes not to
- 20:22retain
- 20:23its uh indigenous uh
- 20:26uh aura and sound so i even use the
- 20:29fashion tab was wash i have
- 20:31everything they're all some are by the
- 20:34way i use the tines i
- 20:35use they are actually they are
- 20:39from a wiper the metal
- 20:42uh strip in a wipe car wiper
- 20:46somewhere apart from the kitchen uh some
- 20:49are
- 20:50from old tambourine springs uh
- 20:54i use anything some are from the surplus
- 20:56store
- 20:57some are found objects but there are so
- 21:00many violations
- 21:03operated sit hit sing string and others
- 21:06that you can actually create sound
- 21:08but through vibrations the length and
- 21:10the way you
- 21:11tighten it also affects the sound
- 21:15this one is a discarded instrument it's
- 21:18a good precautions with
- 21:19metals uh with a height and sound
- 21:23so there are varied sound you put some
- 21:25springs and
- 21:26also some metal that i can produce um
- 21:31this innovation
