Music beyond fixity and fluidity; preservation and performance as instauration

-

MCICM researchers Denise Petzold and Peter Peters will co-host the Lorentz workshop in Leiden. The workshop, organised together with Hannah Bosma from the University of Amsterdam, and Floris Schuiling from Utrecht University, focuses on musical works are brought into existence, how they are preserved and performed over time. Taking Antoine Hennion’s assumption that music is always in the making, the workshop will study music as ‘work to be done.’

The workshop will include academic lectures and discussions as well as practice-based work in the form of studios. Each studio will cover a different musical genre: western classical orchestral music, improvised and experimental jazz music, and avant-garde electroacoustic music.  This collaboration will likely result in a variety of outcomes, such as for example an edited volume, a dynamic multimedia archive, a website, or a special issue.
