Events | Música para ver

11.06.2024 | 9 pm | CCCI Auditorium | Departamento de Comunicação e Arte da Universidade de Aveiro

On June 11th, 2024, at 9 pm, the CCCI Auditorium at the Departamento de Comunicação e Arte da Universidade de Aveiro, will transform into a cinema for the event "Music to Watch." This initiative features a presentation of videos associated with projects by researchers from the Institute of Ethnomusicology – Centre for the Study of Music and Dance (INET-md), Helena Caspurro, Vasco Negreiros, and Paulo Maria Rodrigues, followed by a discussion and exchange of ideas between the audience and the researchers.

The event will feature the screening of the films "Aula Magna!", "Six pièces de caractère pour le clavecin", "Com Palavras Amo", "À Parte da Vida", and "Massaiá". The aim is to showcase the diversity of approaches and objectives in this artistic and research symbiosis, exploring how associating music with audiovisual media can enhance and disseminate musical creation.

The association of music with audiovisual media has been a widespread practice since the beginning of the recording era, further reinforced by video as a means to enhance and disseminate musical creation. This growing use of video has also impacted the field of research, not just as a mere recording method: music videos allow for the exploration of experimental creative lines, attract diverse audiences, support scientific and ethnographic documentaries, and disseminate projects and research, among other varied and relevant avenues.
