Dis-patch is continuing its dedication to use the presence of international authors to open discussions about some of the key questions related to the contemporary music culture.
Through lectures, panel discussions and a guided tour, we are meeting the people behind the music scene, and have an opportunity to hear their impressions, inspiring a dialogue with the local audience and artists.
DATE: Saturday, November 7th
VENUE: City Library, Roman Hall
TIME: 3 PM
Main fields of practice for Antye Greie are sound, composition, e-poetry, calligraphic art, music, voice manipulation, music production, performance, digital media, sonic installations, visual realization, internet communication, interactive and participatory arts. Her works have been part of many group exhibitions and festivals. She has performed at previous editions of Dis-patch, solo and with the band Laub. Specific research focus lies on relationship between language and sound including poetry in music, words in the context of electronic and electro-acoustic music, the phenomena of wordless singing, the perception of words in music and within different languages, the deconstruction of language and communication within music and abstract poetries that occur within sound.
Steve Goodman is a Lecturer in Music Culture at the School of Sciences, Media, and Cultural Studies at the University of East London, a member of the CCRU (Cybernetic Culture Research Unit), and the founder of the record label Hyperdub. He produces bass-driven electronic music under the name kode9 and is also a member of the sound art collective Audint. He will be presenting his long-anticipated book Sonic Warfare: Sound, Affect, and the Ecology of Fear, to be released soon by MIT Press. Most theoretical discussions of sound and music cultures in relationship to power, Goodman argues, have a missing dimension: the politics of frequency.
