unexpected territories – david tudor – conference 3.7., 14:00–20:00 – Villa Elisabeth

David Tudor is one of the central figures in the American and international music scene after World War II, a pioneer of experimental music as well as of live electronics and sound art. "unexpected territories", however, is by no means intended as a historical retrospective, but rather as a project in which current exhibitions, concerts, performances, workshops and lectures explore David Tudor's world of ideas and artistic practice.The one-day symposium on 3 July at the Villa Elisabeth is devoted entirely to the topic of live electronics. This will be done from the perspective of the reconstruction of electronic instruments as well as from the perspective of performance practice. The program includes lectures and discussions by Tudor experts, composers and scholars, including You Nakai, Michael Johnsen, Miriam Akkermann, John Driscoll, Phil Edelstein, Matt Rogalsky, Mats Lindström and Andrea Neumann. Julia H. Schröder is the moderator.
