A journey through the relationships between sound and sense in the musical practice of the twentieth and twenty-first century, a research seminar organised by PhD- student Paolo Galli.
The main purpose of this seminar is the investigation of the connections between vocal/instrumental/electronic music and linguistics, with the specific aim of examining the relations and the subtle transformations between sound and sense.
The following questions arise: which are the relationships between sound and sense within those compositions involving processes that clearly affect the possibility of recognizing words and therefore imply a greater concentration on the sonic aspects of language? Which are the implications of this conception of the relation between sound and sense on today's compositional and performance practice? Starting from these premises and questions, a heterogeneous panel of experts will address the topic from multiple points of view via a series of presentations and a subsequent panel discussion, which will provide the opportunity to broaden the horizons of our understanding of such a crucial issue for the current musical practice.
