THEME SOUND: On Orality, Writing and Compositional Practices in Relation to Text

Welcome on April 13-14, to a two-day seminar on orality, writing and compositional practices in relation to text that CROCUS co-organizes with the research initiative SNT (Sound, Narrative, Technology)The seminar explores how understanding from an artistic practice could inform method development in the arts and artistic research, as well as in other research fields. What learning outcomes are there from working with music and text? What are the different strategies in writing for musical composition?

Sound, Narrative, Technology, SNT is a network researching audio performance, dramatic writing, musical composition and hörspiel. Researchers, artists and experts within these disciplines meet to develop and deepen the fields that emerge at the intersection, and where the questions and problems take their starting point in narrative, artistic methods and content.
