Call for proposals: Orpheus Seminar 2018
Call November 6, 2017The Power of Musical Networks
We aim to find examples of the use of Network models/principles/theories that bridge the potential gap between the Scientific Disciplines dealing with Network Theory and the creative artistic world using them.
Orpheus Seminar 2018
"The Power of Musical Networks"
21 - 22 February, 2018
Deadline for proposals: 15 January 2018 (Extended from 20 December 2017)
Some questions we hope proposals will address are:
- Has our understanding, experience and critical discourse of music evolved to keep pace with technological models?
- Where do the boundaries between network as structure and metaphor lie? Are they porous?
- How does the use of networks as technologies impact on our imagining, our conceiving of music? Which of the many new affordances find most resonance?
- What is the explanatory or creative potential of network in non-technological or non-contemporary music?
Confirmed special guests:
- David Rosenboom (Composer, Dean School of Music, CalArts) Music of Many Nows — Musical Configuration Spaces and the Networked Possible
- Chris Chafe (Composer, Director CCRMA, Stanford) TN_CC*JI&JP: Networked room acoustics-based performance
