Saturday, 16:15 – 18:00, De Balie
STEIM’s Artistic Director Takuro Mizuta Lippit moderates a panel discussion on issues relating to music and its different modes of representation. How does high definition in space change the performance of music and its perception? What are the compositional materials and instruments for a music that intends to go beyond the conventional trajectories of stereo and concert halls? As an audience where do we listen? With presentations by Yutaka Makino and Hans W. Koch, and a lecture by Steven Connor.
