CREATIVE PRODUCTION FOR CLASSICAL MUSIC
Waterloo campus of King's College London: Franklin Wilkins Building room
1.10, 150 Stamford Street, London - Monday 5 June 2006, 12-7pm
This one-day seminar will be of interest to performers, producers, record
industry personnel, students, and anybody interested in the role of
classical music in contemporary culture.
The interventionist production techniques commonplace in recordings of
popular music have had little impact on classical audio recordings: this is
because of the constraining paradigm of 'reproduction', according to which
the recording is meant to recreate the concert hall experience. Decades ago
Glenn Gould experimented with more creative approaches to production and
sound engineering, and since then radical new possibilities have been
opened up by digital technology, yet there has been no concerted attempt to
transform the classical audio recording into a creative commodity that
might support new modes of listening and new markets.
What might this mean and how might such new markets be created? How, for
example, might the experience of classical music be transformed through
home cinema technology?
In order to address such questions this seminar will bring together a range
of perspectives from production, audio engineering, performance,
composition, and the music business, with an introduction by Nicholas Cook
(Royal Holloway) and presentations from:
- Kathryn Beresford (University of Surrey)
- Mark Irwin (London College of Music, Thames Valley University)
- Brian Lock (Royal Holloway)
- Zoe Martlew (London College of Music, Thames Valley University)
- Steve Savage (San Francisco State University/Royal Holloway)
Registration fee: £70 (£40 concessions)
Registration includes lunch and a wine reception at the end. To register
for this event please email [log in to unmask] or write to: Carol Chan,
Music Department, Royal Holloway, University of London, Egham, Surrey TW20
0EX.
This event is co-organized by CHARM and Thames Valley University as part of
the WestFocus Creative Industries Network.
