ALL WELCOME
The title of this newly released CD is also the title of a much bigger project that I began years ago, aiming to create a space in which my different flutes would exhibit their own qualities and properties, including aspects of their history, material origins, design aesthetics, cultural identity, and generally their perceived agency and expressive potential afforded independently from me, the performer. My focus is on a variety of flutes, but the core idea extends to other musical instruments. In the seminar, I will refer to the different sound explorations, types of collaboration, and the philosophical and conceptual questioning that accompanied the processes.

Carmen Troncoso, PhD, is a recorder tutor at the University of York and freelance teacher and practitioner. Carmen continually develops interdisciplinary artistic projects that highlight the current diversity of flutes, ranging from ancient to contemporary.

Among her projects are: Incontri, intertwining ancient and contemporary music and dance; In-Ventando, commissioning, premiering and recording Chilean works for recorder; The Mayan Triple Flute, exploring instrumental singularity and identity in collaborative work with composers; Recordeur: The One Who Retells, creating electroacoustic works for recorders; and Coppel, examining the creative and agential potential of musical instruments and their associated objects. Her most recent artistic project was Between Air, Clay, and Woods of Certain Flutes, an audiovisual immersive installation and CD featuring original works. She performs with and coordinates the York-based Merlin Baroque Ensemble and the Salus Trio. She creates immersive art/nature experiences with the interdisciplinary Between Air Collective, enjoys walking in the woods, and actively works towards community wellbeing.
