Musicology / Music Theory Colloquium: Research through Gestures at the Edges and Margins
Oct 27, 2023
01:30 PM - 02:30 PM
93 East Burlington Street, Iowa City, IA 52240
Music is an activity: it brings different research practices into play, not just at university. How do amateur musicians carry out research in the day-to-day and ordinary things they do to make their music? What are their research gestures—to document, to ask questions, to conceptualize, to improvise (to be present, in the right thickness of the moment), to tinker (to progress together through experimental trials and errors), to learn (specific readings or writing activities), etc.?
Nicolas Sidoroff is musician>educator<researcher. Making music and research are connected. And there are two main ways of linking them: one as a trainer at Cefedem-AuRA (Higher education for music teaching in the life-long learning program in France), and the other in various musical adventures (large post-hardcore and post-improvised ensembles, and popular music from the Réunion Island).
