Lecture topics
Living electronic music execution:
how to make sound perfect with modern technologies
Modern computer programs, such as Ableton Live, make a live performance of electronic music light, stable and intuitively understandable. At the lecture, we will talk about how to make an audio “pictures” (samples) of an electro-musical environment and how to explore its micro-sound world using various processes in real time, including cyclicity, filtration, strobing, granulation and spatial localization, so that As a result, get an exciting sound.
The entrance to the lecture is free by preliminary registration!
Musical score as a “puff pie” historical heritage
In many of my works, you can trace the game with the presence and lack of history and stories. I often think about a musical work and perceive it as an audial palympsest, that is, as a layering of different eras, as a reflection of a musical historical heritage.
Such audio “layers” are located over each other and, if you try, you can feel and trace their interaction among themselves. My goal is to come close to both the present and the past, through the recontextualization of each of them, to create a sound bridge between them, and at the lecture we will talk about that.
