Guest Lecture Series: Composers on Soundscape Composition

In January, a series of guest lectures focused on the aesthetics and composition of artistic soundscapes. The four lectures were given by international artists*. Among them: Fredrik Mathias Josefson (new media artist), Zoe Yi-Cheng Lin (AI & VR music), Luong Hue Trinh (experimental electroacoustic music) and Ángela Hoyos Gómez (new media artist).

The seminar Aesthetic Practices of the Soundscape in Auditve Culture deals with concepts of artistic soundscapes based on multimedia works from the past 50 years. Both aesthetic and technical aspects of the compositions will be examined. The musical application (composition, sound art and multimedia performance) will be in the foreground.
The four guest lectures in January will deepen the contents of the seminar and are open to guest auditors.
