27 April 2022, 16.30
Isabel Mundry (Zurich University of the Arts/University of Music and Performing Arts Munich)
'Issues of temporality in current compositional practice'
https://music.web.ox.ac.uk/event/osimta-isabel-mundry-zurich-university-of-the-arts
Isabel Mundry is a composer whose work is characterised by a unique sonic language that investigates the relationships between time, space and perception in rich, multi-faceted ways. She writes about this upcoming seminar: 'The musical thinking that shaped me is based on a linear and processual model of time. However, for some years now I have been increasingly interested in other forms, stimulated above all by my interest in oral cultures. There, time forms are oriented both forwards and backwards. What is remembered is evoked and unfolds in the presence of new articulations that can later be remembered again. The music that emerges is as much a trace as a progression. Using examples from my recent works, I will explain how I search for comparable forms and how they give rise to compositional and aesthetic reflections.'
