Tuning – Detuning / Noting – Denoting

Thursday 17 March 2016, 7 pm
Location: Witte de With Center for Contemporary Art

Can a tune be translated into an image? Can the “detuning” of music generate new ways of thinking about the relation between sound and scripture? The notation of sound has a long and varied history, from Gregorian chants conducted following signs written in the air to the standard notation of western music we know today, and the possibilities offered by new computer technologies.

This evening moves back and forth between sound and scripture, the program consists of experimental performances and short lectures, with a special focus on Charlemagne Palestine’s visual renderings of sound, which are included in the exhibition GesammttkkunnsttMeshuggahhLaandtttt. Participants announced soon.

Organized together with DE PLAYER as part of their ongoing Pushing The Score program.
