Workshop "People processes: Music, Noise and Human Plurality", Panayiotis Kanellopoulos, musician, assistant professor, Department of Pre-School Education, University of Thessaly.
The workshop is part of the course “Audiovisual Representations and Image Processing Techniques”, Wednesday 25/1, 3:30-6:30 pm, Hall A
The workshop focus on the idea of a single activity done simultaneously by many people, in a way that each one does it in a slightly different manner. As a result, unity is transformed to plurality (Michael Parsons).
Exploring the relationship of music and noise through the role of human plurality as it was understood by experimental music. We discuss, listen and create music – we experiment.
