STUDIES ENCOUNTER ON MIXED MUSIC
Intermedia extension and sustainability within the framework of mixed music: image, improvisation, preservation and "recasting"

April 21st, 2012 – Aud. A5

In the context of mixed music there are extensions arising from the interaction between traditional practices and digital technology. In fact, we are witnessing both the expansion of forms of expression crossing different medias, including image and sound, and the development of hybrid ensembles (laptop and traditional instruments) directed towards the practice of improvisation leads to situations where the boundaries between composition, improvisation, instrument and technology become uncertain.
These points connect with problematic around the preservation or particularly the "recasting" of mixed music works (especially in the case of "live electronics").
Taking as its starting point the three axes adopted in the first meeting in March 2011 in Paris, this meeting will focus on:

• the situation about the research in this area, in Portugal and abroad, and
• the promotion of systematic exchanges between the researchers of the project and researchers, composers and performers who work in this area.
