GLOBALE: Performing Sound, Playing Technology | Symposium

A Festival on Contemporary Musical Instruments and Interfaces

Fri, Feb 05 - Sun, Feb 07, 2016

»Performing Sound, Playing Technology. A Festival on Contemporary Musical Instruments and Interfaces« provides insights into the development of innovative instruments and interfaces in the field of electronic music. A total of two concert evenings on subjects such as instrument prosthetics, established tools thought new, live coding, tinkering and dancing. In addition, research projects will be presented in a symposium, and there will also be a possibility to experiment in innovative instruments and interfaces.

The festival thus offers a range of perspectival approaches the objective of which is to encourage and support the critical examination of artistic and scientific potential in contemporary musical instruments, while at the same time thematizing the question of the reciprocal influence of music and technology: In what ways are new technologies applied to contemporary instruments? What references can meanwhile be made between instruments? How are they played and what kind of music is produced with them? The festival visitor traces the various perspectives of instrumentalists, developers, artists and scientists by way of theoretical and practical approaches, and thereby inspires participants to speculate on possible future scenarios.
