Musical Composition and Performance with New Technologies: lecture-concert and open rehearsal
The Permanent Seminar of the INET-md research group on Creation, Performance, and Artistic Research (SemPer) invites the composer, percussionist, researcher, and university professor Cesar Traldi to present the project “Musical Composition and Performance with New Technologies” at DeCA, as well as an open rehearsal at GrETUA. The project, funded by the Minas Gerais State Research Support Foundation – Fapemig and developed at the Federal University of Uberlândia, involves the composition of percussion works that explore new relationships between the musicians' performance, sound, and the audience. The sounds of the instruments are combined with recorded and studio-manipulated sounds, creating sound dialogues and an expansion of instrumental sonority. The physical gestures of the instrumentalists are used to generate visual information that creates new connections between the sonic and visual realms.
The open rehearsal for the UA community will feature a brief performative and commented presentation on the processes of elaboration and construction of the concert "XilogravuraSonoras", with the participation of the composer.
